Forecasts

Politologue (8/15), Special Tiara (3/1), Forest Bihan (6/1), Vaniteux (25/1)

Verdict

The stars may well be aligning for POLITOLOGUE in this division and the apple of Paul Nicholls eye can take another step on the road to Cheltenham here by beating reigning champion Special Tiara. Based on the form of the pair's respective runs with Fox Norton this term the younger Politologue has plenty in hand. Forest Bihan needs to bounce back but there is no obvious reason he won't and connections will view this as a measuring stick for their young chaser.
  1. Politologue
