1/6

Useful chaser who added to his sequence of fine Cheltenham Festival performances when third in the Kim Muir last month. The class act and one to beat here if that hasn't taken too much out of him.

Forecasts

Shantou Flyer (1/6), Minella Daddy (11/2), Keltus (16/1), Creative Inerta (20/1)

SHANTOU FLYER ran another mighty race at the Cheltenham Festival when third in the Kim Muir last month and will be hard to beat back under his owner/rider. Keltus showed some ability after 18 months off at Market Rasen and could be the one for the forecast.
