Forecasts

Brulure Noire (13/8), Bobby Bow (7/2), The Boat (7/2), Art Of Illusion (6/1), Caswell Bay (12/1), Kestrel Valley (12/1), Destin D'Ajonc (20/1), Pilgrims King (20/1), Higgs (40/1), Great Khan (100/1)

There should be more to come from BRULURE NOIRE, who made a winning chase debut here in November and will appreciate this stiffer test of stamina. The Boat looks the obvious danger on form, whilst market support for Ben Pauling's chase debutant Bobby Bow could prove significant.
