This looks a very easy opportunity for Le Jaguar to gain his first success over fences, The Real Boss and Field Of Blue should chase him home. The Paul Nicholls trained gelding has taken on much better opponents this season including My Will, Ile De Paris and Headliner. His recent second to Cinnamon Line is better than any of the others could produce and he should win at prohibitive odds. The Real Boss isn't too bad a performer when he gets round. His recent third to the Nicholls trained Red Devil Robert was a fair effort and he looks the best bet for the forecast. Field Of Blue has shown bits and pieces of form and could be best of the remainder. So this looks a pretty simple task for Le Jaguar, who is our confident selection.
