Forecasts

Bagad Bihoue (6/5), Forever Field (6/4), Midnight Cowboy (4/1)

Verdict

There wasn't much between Bagad Bihoue and FOREVER FIELD over timber but it might prove best to side with the latter for this chasing debut. His trainer will remain on a high having been crowned champion on Saturday and he did win this race last year at a venue where he tends to do well. The Nicholls runner should give him plenty to think about while it would be folly to rule out Midnight Cowboy in an open heat where all three are tackling these obstacles for the first time.
  1. Forever Field
  2. Bagad Bihoue
  3. Midnight Cowboy
