Forecasts

General Medrano (11/8), Javert Allen (9/5), Primoz (9/2), Bourbali (8/1), Harper's Brook (22/1)

JAVERT ALLEN looked a natural over fences on his first run for the best part of a year at Chepstow and, with the promise of better to come from this lightly-raced 5-y-o, he is taken to make it 2-2 in this sphere. General Medrano won as he liked over C&D recently and a 10 lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold show from Emma Lavelle's representative. Bourbali is also likely to be on the premises.
