Forecasts
Top Notch (4/9), Ptit Zig (11/4), Josses Hill (9/1), Max Ward (20/1), Vaniteux (33/1)
TOP NOTCH continues to exceed all expectations over fences given his diminutive stature. His return at Ascot saw another fine performance and it may be that he is still improving. This looks an excellent opportunity for him to further enhance his fine record. Ptit Zig is given as the best alternative on his return to steeplechasing. He chased home the exceptional but ill-fated Vautour in his last completion over fences. Max Ward would have a chance at the weights based on his Aintree clash with Top Notch but the suspicion is he was flattered by the margin that day.
