Forecasts

Kepler's Law (9/4), Kalhandrion (5/2), Jacques Clouseau (13/2), Genietoile (13/2), Il Va De Soi (10/1), Disguisedlimit (12/1), Tune In A Box (14/1), Wotter Trotter (25/1), Just Forty (33/1), Mumford's Magic (40/1)

Verdict

It was an improved effort from JACQUES CLOUSEAU when finishing hot on the heels of a pair of race-fit rivals on his return from seven months off in a handicap hurdle at Southwell. With further progress likely now tackling the larger obstacles, he gets the nod ahead of Kalhandrion and Genietoile, in that order of preference. Disguisedlimit and Il Va de Soi are also shortlisted.

  1. JACQUES CLOUSEAU (IRE)
  2. KALHANDRION (FR)
  3. GENIETOILE (FR)
