Forecasts

Doukarov (9/4), Fairway Freddy (4/1), Zoffee (11/2), Onthefrontfoot (6/1), Eskendash (6/1), Havana Hermano (15/2), Peterborough (18/1)

Verdict

Impossible to rule out any of these but preference is for HAVANA HERMANO, who shaped well when third in a jumpers bumper at this course last month and can get back to winning ways for Stuart Edmunds. Doukarov got back on the up with an impressive front-running display to win at Leicester earlier this month and he's feared most if in the same mood, ahead of Zoffee.

  1. HAVANA HERMANO (IRE)
  2. DOUKAROV (FR)
  3. ZOFFEE
