Betting Forecast: 6-4 Walking On Air (IRE), 7-2 Hecouldbetheone (IRE), 5-1 Maclaine (GB), 8-1 Alghazaal (GB), 12-1 Ben Lilly (IRE), 16-1 Card Dealer (IRE), 20-1 Hara Kiri (FR), 25-1 Hiway One O Three (IRE), 50-1 Groom de Cotte (FR), Systemic (GB), 100-1 Enchantee (IRE), 150-1 Logan’s Choice (GB) Race Summary: Some promising types on show here, not least WALKING ON AIR. Nicky Henderson’s charge showed plenty despite being no match for a more speedily-bred rival in a Kempton bumper last March so he gets the nod to make a winning start over timber here. Maclaine and Hecouldbetheone are all open to improvement so they rate as obvious alternatives should the selection fail to fire.
