Forecasts

Mont Des Avaloirs (1/6), Mon Eldorado (7/1), The King Of May (10/1), Run For Eva (200/1)

The King Of May ran well for a long way at Cheltenham last month before tiring up the hill and should still have improvement in him, but off level weights here it is not easy to oppose MONT DES AVALOIRS, who has proved to be the best of these to date and can defy his penalty to win again. Mon Eldorado can chase them home.
