Forecasts

Jipcot (11/4), Montregard (10/3), Joyeux Machin (5/1), Your Darling (15/2), Nocte Volatus (11/1), Hunter Legend (12/1), Threeunderthrufive (12/1), Invincible Nao (14/1), Gericault Roque (18/1), Sam Brown (28/1), Credo (40/1)

Verdict

JOYEUX MACHIN went with more zest in refitted cheekpieces/tongue strap in the Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster on his latest outing, in a clear lead when falling 5 out, and he could be working his way back to winning ways this season. He is preferred to Montregard, who has put up 2 good efforts over C&D this season, with Jipcot also considered.

  1. JOYEUX MACHIN (FR)
  2. MONTREGARD (FR)
  3. JIPCOT (FR)
