Forecasts

Graceland (4/1), Paris Protocol (9/2), Gaelic Tiger (5/1), Parliamentarian (11/2), Mr Cripps (8/1), On Fire (9/1), Grumeti (9/1), Kajaki (9/1), Silva Eclipse (10/1), Ice Galley (11/1), Blue Hussar (14/1), Buonarroti (14/1), Gabrial's Star (14/1), Saved By The Bell (16/1), Injam (20/1), Lost The Moon (20/1), Tatting (33/1)

In its four runnings to date this race has been taken by horses rated 85, 86, 87 and 88, so that suggests that it should pay to concentrate on those towards the top of the list and although he is rated 84, GRUMETI will rightly be popular here. He has nothing to prove in terms of stamina or with regard to conditions, while he is on his Cesarewitch-winning mark and comes here in form. National Hunt trainers have a good record in staying handicaps here and he can add to that. The class act is Parliamentarian, though there will be concerns about his ability to see out the trip in this ground. Saved By The Bell is feared if able to run up to his current level of ability, while Graceland looks a major player and Kajaki and On Fire are both in good form and their ability to mix it in this grade is not ruled out.
