Forecasts

Tidal Flow (11/10), Birchdale (7/4), Stoney Mountain (3/1), Beakstown (6/1), Rockpoint (12/1), Champagne Court (12/1), Finawn Bawn (14/1)

A super race in prospect, with plenty of potential on display and this should prove very informative. Rockpoint is respected after already scoring at this level, but he could find it very tough to successfully concede weight to Tidal Flow, Stoney Mountain and particularly BIRCHDALE, and the last-named gets the vote. Nicky Henderson's gelding looked very useful on debut and won a race that has worked out well. He can make the step up. Beakstown is another of interest.
