Forecasts

Coco Mademoiselle (11/10), Knight Of Allen (2/1), Art Of Diplomacy (11/4), Double Powerful (4/1), Welcom To Cartries (9/2)

The progress DOUBLE POWERFUL made last season was nothing short of remarkable and, judged on his fine third in a big handicap at the Aintree Grand National meeting during the spring, it's unlikely that he has reached his ceiling just yet. He could prove a tough nut to crack if his jumping passes the test now switched to fences. Both of Welcom To Cartries' appearances over fences have been in graded company and, along with Coco Mademoiselle, he is greatly respected at this level.
