Forecasts

Chief Black Robe (2/7), Balko Saint (7/1), Bagheera Ginge (9/1), Umndeni (14/1)

Verdict

CHIEF BLACK ROBE is clearly a different proposition for current connections, so Fergal O'Brien's 7-y-o is strongly fancied to bring up a quickfire hat-trick under a penalty and remain unbeaten over the larger obstacles. Balko Saint rates the obvious danger and he could be set for a fourth successive runner-up finish over fences.

  1. CHIEF BLACK ROBE (IRE)
  2. BALKO SAINT (FR)
  3. UMNDENI (FR)
