Forecasts

Sa Majeste (11/10), Now Is The Hour (7/2), Captain Cody (4/1), Cleatus Poolaw (9/2), Nas Na Riogh (6/1), Shannon Royale (10/1), Billericay Dickie (22/1)

Another interesting beginners chase that can go to SA MAJESTE who has a very encouraging performance over fences at Galway under his belt and seems sure to better his useful hurdles form in this sphere. Captain Cody, Nas Na Riogh and Cleatus Poolaw are all fascinating rivals now going chasing themselves.
