Forecasts

Smallcraftwarning (7/2), Pana To Milan (4/1), Thelonglad (5/1), Depeche Mo (5/1), Jay Pee M (7/1), Navy Waves (9/1), Mullins Cross (9/1), He Picked Us (10/1), Dontdooddson (16/1), Morepowertoya (16/1), Toon Town (16/1), Max Time (18/1), Glencourt Valley (22/1), Jonny Mansie (28/1), Champagne Rebel (33/1), Eikonix (33/1), Getaway Erin (40/1), On The Banks (66/1)

DEPECHE MO remains a maiden following 14 attempts over hurdles but he arrives here on the back of a couple of solid efforts in defeat and this could be the day when he finally gets his head in front. The 6-y-o may have most to fear from Pana To Milan, who is 0-11 herself in this sphere but she won well off a 2 lb higher chase mark here last time. Recent C&D scorer Smallcraftwarning is also firmly in calculations, while Getaway Erin may well leave her previous form behind now handicapping.
