Forecasts

The Galloping Bear (9/2), Bristol De Mai (11/2), Secret Reprieve (6/1), Sam Brown (6/1), Mint Condition (13/2), Blaklion (17/2), Enqarde (11/1), Lord Du Mesnil (12/1), Time To Get Up (22/1), Kalooki (25/1), Sidi Ismael (40/1)

Verdict

A strong renewal with plenty of depth, but last season's Welsh National winner SECRET REPRIEVE is still very much of interest off his current mark given how he shaped in this December's renewal following a 12-month absence. The classy Bristol de Mai heads the weights and must be respected given his record here, while the thriving Blaklion looks sure to go well again (twice runner-up in this race).

  1. SECRET REPRIEVE (IRE)
  2. BRISTOL DE MAI (FR)
  3. BLAKLION
