BETTING FORECAST 6/1 Al Dancer, 13/2 Lalor, Protektorat, 10/1 Galahad Quest, Zanza, 11/1 Midnight Shadow, 12/1 Caribean Boy, 14/1 Dostal Phil, 16/1 Coole Cody, Nietzsche, Paint The Dream, Simply The Betts, 20/1 Farinet, Manofthemountain, Spiritofthegames, 28/1 Funky Dady, Up The Straight, 33/1 Belargus, Deyrann De Carjac, 40/1 Aso.

VERDICT
Preference is for PROTEKTORAT who exuded class when he won his Grade 1 novice race at Aintree. Belargus may chase him home.
......................................................
COMMENTS
Al Dancer Good 3rd when favourite in this last year off 5lb higher; has left Nigel Twiston-Davies
Aso Most runs last term cast major doubts even though he is down to a good mark
Belargus Strong late on when winning in good style at Sandown on last two completed starts
Caribean Boy Last season's reappearance win appeared to promise much, which has not been delivered
Coole Cody Often front-runner, including when he won this race (soft) last year off 4lb lower
Deyrann De Carjac Lightly raced last two years; well handicapped if he reverted to his 2019 form over 2m4f
Dostal Phil It is needed but he looks open to further improvement in this second season chasing
Farinet Best days ahead of him after just two British starts but all runs have been on soft-heavy
Funky Dady Kept on the go since June and has run with credit under Shane Mulcahy almost every time
Galahad Quest Upwardly mobile 5yo; no shock if he's come on since his third at Wetherby 15 days ago
Lalor Well-in if back to his best form here; has left Kayley Woollacott and had wind surgery
Manofthemountain Improvement is needed but he shaped well on return and won well here (2m4f, good) in April
Midnight Shadow Only one bright spot last term but he made a satisfactory reappearance three weeks ago
Nietzsche Two big runs over hurdles here; he also has a squeak judged on peak chase form
Paint The Dream It's hard to rule out one with such impressive wins on two of his last three starts
Protektorat Asserted in good style in Grade 1 novice race at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) in April
Simply The Betts Excelled here two seasons ago; injury meant just one run last season for Harry Whittington
Spiritofthegames 2nd or 3rd in five of his seven major 2m4f handicaps here; 2nd in this race 12 months ago
Up The Straight Did not shine here in April; impressive recent win was in 3-runner Plumpton novice chase
Zanza Little luck last term; good 3rd in Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter on return; seen mostly at 2m

[Bluemike]

I was robbed there, best horse by far finished 2nd.

Protektorat lost that race by making a couple of bad mistakes early on.
