Forecasts

Clap Of Thunder (15/8), French Ship (10/3), Le Fauve (7/2), Kap Boy (4/1), We're Red And Blue (18/1), Palacio (20/1), River Run Free (66/1), Diamond Geezer (80/1), Golden Identity (100/1), Jukebox Joker (100/1), Three Zambezi's (150/1)

A few in with chances but KAP BOY made a winning debut in a bumper at this meeting last year and having matched that form when runner-up at Newbury 3 months later, this athletic sort is fancied to make his mark on return/hurdling debut at the expense of Le Fauve, who has already finished runner-up twice in this sphere and sets a decent standard to aim at on reappearance. Bumper winner French Ship can edge out Rules debutant River Run Free for third.
