Forecasts

Jagwar (7/4), Javert Allen (9/2), Booster Bob (11/2), Uncle Bert (13/2), Prairie Wolf (8/1), Donnacha (12/1), Moon D'orange (14/1), Triple Trade (18/1), Boombawn (33/1), Riskintheground (50/1), Hurricane Bay (50/1)

Lots with chances but JAGWAR signed off a great novice chase campaign with success in the Plate over C&D in March and can build on his eye-catching reappearance third here to quickly resume winning ways. Booster Bob also has better days ahead of him and rates the main threat with the form of his Newbury victory having been well advertised. Last year's winner Moon d'Orange is another who could have a say along with Javert Allen, Boombawn and Uncle Bert in this cracking handicap.
