Forecasts

Ever So Much (85/40), Oak Vintage (3/1), Brave Spartacus (7/2), Gris De Pron (7/2), Nicolas Chauvin (17/2)

A difficult to solve handicap chase, in which there's likely to be plenty of competition for the early lead with a number of the runners, including Brave Spartacus and Oak Vintage happy to stride on early. Similar race tactics benefited NICHOLAS CHAUVIN when he last visited the winners enclosure at Wetherby in October 2017 (good), and although bitterly disappointing since, he could be worth chancing at forecast rewarding double figure odds.
