Forecasts

Mahons Glory (5/2), Doyen Du Bar (11/4), Filanderer (7/2), Bill Baxter (11/2), The Flier Begley (12/1), Minella Drama (16/1), Two For Gold (20/1), Stratagem (28/1)

Verdict

Despite his age, FILANDERER was progressing fast prior to being undone by his jumping in a better race at Newbury. He looks well worth another chance off a short break and may be able to make it 2-2 at this course, with Doyen Du Bar a serious danger if improving for this markedly longer trip. Mahons Glory made a bold bid in the Becher Chase at Aintree last time and is expected to be in the mix over a more suitable distance.

  1. FILANDERER
  2. DOYEN DU BAR (IRE)
  3. MAHONS GLORY (IRE)
