Forecasts
A Pai De Nom (5/6), Tread Carefully (5/2), North Of Richmond (5/1), Seaview Rock (10/1), Romany King (40/1), Fanny Moon (200/1)
Despite misgivings regarding the suitability of this trip, A PAI DE NOM earns the vote on the back of his victory in a competitive, big-field Cheltenham handicap. He remains capable of better and this stiff track will go some way towards offsetting the drop in distance. Tread Carefully is the clear main danger on the back of his solid effort at Sandown. North of Richmond is another promising type and should make his presence felt, too.
