Forecasts

Celebre D'Allen (5/2), Cheddleton (9/2), Falco Blitz (6/1), Our Power (6/1), Dinny Lacey (13/2), Jacamar (7/1), Lieutenant Rocco (8/1), The King Of May (12/1), Riders Onthe Storm (12/1), Amoola Gold (20/1), Wishing And Hoping (22/1)

Verdict

OUR POWER is much less exposed than most of these over fences and looked to have a fair bit more in the locker when scoring at Huntingdon so gets the nod. Celebre d'Allen made it 2-2 over hurdles for Philip Hobbs at Haydock but this French import can also boast winning chase form and is feared most. In-form duo Cheddleton and Jacamar can't be ruled out lightly either in a cracking handicap chase.
