Forecasts

Minella Yoga (2/1), Maestro Conti (5/2), Hardy Stuff (4/1), One Horse Town (5/1), Tenter Le Tout (9/1), Lord Byron (28/1), La Luna Artista (28/1), Sonic Pioneer (40/1), Miss Des Boullats (66/1), Chartwell Jock (500/1)

Verdict

MAESTRO CONTI was in a different league to his opponents at Kempton over Christmas and can take the step up to Graded company in his stride. Like the selection, Minella Yoga has looked good when landing both starts and can provide the main threat ahead of Finale winner Tenter Le Tout.

  1. MAESTRO CONTI (FR)
  2. MINELLA YOGA (IRE)
  3. TENTER LE TOUT (FR)
