Forecasts

Jubilant (5/4), Paddy De Pole (2/1), Davidoc (9/4)

Each of the trio have realistic prospects but JUBILANT appeals most having stepped forward from his winning chase debut when third in what looked a strong race for the grade over C&D earlier this month. He can make it two wins from 3 starts over fences, with the consistent Davidoc expected to give him most to think about, though chase debutant Paddy De Pole is in good hands for his first try over fences and could yet have more to offer.
