Forecasts

Bon Papa (2/1), Stand Up And Fight (9/2), Light That (5/1), Dakota Moirette (6/1), Avenir D'Une Vie (15/2), Next Bend (8/1), Scoir Mear (10/1)

Some top stables are represented in an interesting beginners' chase and Avenir D'une Vie looks the logical staring point after a promising debut over the bigger obstacles in a better contest at Naas. Light That, Stand Up And Fight and Dakota Moirette each have claims on their chasing debuts, but BON PAPA may be the one who makes most progress now he is switched to fences. He was highly tried last season and is clearly well regarded by his top stable.
