Forecasts

Came From Nowhere (13/8), Le Frimeur (2/1), Doujadou (9/2), Itsinthename (15/2), Mr Finch (10/1), Grand Garcon (14/1), Agent Argylle (250/1), Global Fortune (400/1)

Verdict

CAME FROM NOWHERE's form has taken off since switched to handicaps, coming clear with a useful type when landing the Holloway's Handicap Hurdle at Ascot in January, and he can go on to land the hat-trick. The main danger could be Le Frimeur, whose trainer has landed the last 2 renewals of this race, ahead of Doujadou.

  1. CAME FROM NOWHERE (IRE)
  2. LE FRIMEUR (FR)
  3. DOUJADOU (FR)
