Forecasts

Neveradullmoment (7/4), Joshua Webb (3/1), Bleu D'enfer (3/1), St Denis's Well (13/2), So Des Flos (7/1), Donacheady Gale (15/2), Bella Bliss (15/2), Look Dont Touch (16/1), Faith Loving (16/1)

JOSHUA WEBB hasn't won for some time but he sets the standard based on his latest second so he might be able to go one better at the possible expense of Bleu d'Enfer, who returns to chasing following victory over the smaller obstacles. Neveradullmoment is another one to consider.
