Forecasts

Tinkers Hill Tommy (4/6), Salubrious (4/1), O Maonlai (7/1), Persian Snow (10/1), Wolftrap (16/1), Delta Borget (20/1), Milosam (25/1), Sadma (40/1)

Verdict

Persian Snow will probably need to be at his best to win this on these terms and recent performances are not encouraging. Salubrious has to be feared despite his absence as his best form under rules included a Cheltenham Festival victory in 2013. The former Paul Nicholls' inmate has been off for two years and in these conditions preference is for the proven fitness of TINKERS HILL TOMMY. A useful point-to-pointer with some solid hunter chase form, James King's mount proved he handles soft ground last time and he looks set to go one better.
  1. Tinkers Hill Tommy
  2. Salubrious
