Forecasts

Looking Splendid (2/1), Joecooker (4/1), Breizh River (9/2), Special Rate (11/2), Carrigeen Castle (6/1), Jet Legs (15/2), Old Gregorian (9/1), Kay Tara Tara (20/1), Garde Des Champs (28/1)

LOOKING SPLENDID produced a sure-footed round of jumping when scoring on his first run in this sphere over C&D recently and, on that evidence, this 9 lb higher mark may well be within his reach. Old Gregorian's record over hurdles here is compelling and he is better than he was able to show on his first chase start at this course last time. Like the selection he is open to improvement over fences and rates the main danger ahead of Carrigeen Castle and Joecooker.
