Forecasts
Dame De Compagnie (10/11), Slate House (5/2), Better Getalong (7/1), Bedrock (8/1), Summerville Boy (16/1)
This should be between SLATE HOUSE and Dame De Compagnie. Colin Tizzard's charge shades preference given the impressive way he won here on hurdling debut (and debut under rules) last time out. He shaped as if there should be plenty of improvement to come and looking at what his trainer has achieved with former point-to-pointers in the past it would be no surprise to see him progress to be a Supreme Novices Hurdle contender this season. The second-named also has a good chance having won well on British debut for the Champion Trainer, while Bedrock collected some good form last season and could be third best.
