Forecasts

Guy (10/11), Master Dancer (5/4), Valentino Dancer (9/4), Fairway Freddy (10/1), Defan (33/1)

Given that he goes well fresh and with his yard in terrific form, GUY is the most appealing option. He's only managed to win one of his 14 starts over fences, but his overall record in this sphere is pretty solid and and he's 7 lb lower in the weights compared to when runner-up in a Market Rasen handicap chase on his reappearance last season. Master Dancer is worth a second look on his first chase start on these shores and is second choice ahead of Fairway Freddy.
