Forecasts

Apasionado (11/4), Peggies Venture (3/1), Nicely Indeed (6/1), Trevisani (6/1), Excellent Result (8/1), Old Harry Rocks (11/1), Ruwasi (12/1), Whin Park (16/1), Casterly Rock (50/1), Totally Committed (66/1), Miss Joans (100/1), Pivotal Flame (100/1), Harvey (100/1), Indispensabelle (100/1)

Aspionado sets the standard but he is there to be shot at with his penalties and Peggies Venture looks a viable alternative back over a shorter trip, having appeared to not quite get home over 2m4f last time. Excellent Result is another one to be interested in after a break but Paul Nicholls saddles an eyecatching hurdles newcomer in the shape of TREVISANI and it would be no great surprise if this was within his compass with fellow hurdling debutant Old Harry Rocks also interesting.
