Forecasts

Majborough (1/1), Asian Master (2/1), Tullyhill (3/1), Western Fold (14/1), Theatre Native (20/1), Miss Pronunciation (50/1), In The Trenches (80/1), One Night Standard (100/1), Doctor Glide (150/1), Kazakh D'arthel (200/1), Quornofamonday (250/1)

Last season's triumph hurdle winner MAJBOROUGH is an imposing type on looks and should take the beating on his chase bow. His stablemates Tullyhill and Asian Master, who were both useful over hurdles, may emerge as the main threats.
