Forecasts

Cat Tiger (5/6), Unwin Vc (9/4), Welsh Saint (7/1), Saint De Reve (14/1), Ambion Hill (16/1), Rufio (16/1), Normandy Soldier (40/1), Espressino (100/1), Lady Kingsmill (250/1)

Verdict

Unwin Vc has the best form over hurdles going into this and will be a huge player if ready first time, but he didn't resume at his beat last season, so has a little to prove. Saint De Reve and Cat Tiger are both of interest for the Ditcheat team of Paul Nicholls, and neither would be surprise winners. Welsh Saint could improve for his wind surgery, while Ambion Hill is another from a top yard who should be in the mix. However, RUFIO has run well here and should be suited by this step up in trip. He is the suggestion on his hurdles debut.
  1. Rufio
  2. Saint De Reve
  3. Ambion Hill
