Forecasts

Noble Park (7/4), Barlovento (4/1), U Cant Be Serious (11/2), Queensbury Boy (7/1), Epic West (17/2), Secret Des Dieux (10/1), Tapley (22/1), Jasmine Bliss (22/1), Krak (22/1), Lumi Plugin (33/1)

Verdict

NOBLE PARK was really impressive at Lingfield last time and is taken to defy the handicapper again and stretch his unbeaten chase record to 3. U Cant Be Serious is another who arrives with a 2-2 record over fences and is feared most ahead of Barlovento. Jamie Snowden chase newcomer Epic West is another fascinating contender in what looks yet another well-contested renewal of this novice handicap.

  1. NOBLE PARK (IRE)
  2. U CANT BE SERIOUS (IRE)
  3. BARLOVENTO (IRE)
