Forecasts

Baden (11/10), Ballycross (6/4), Silent Steps (4/1), Pickamix (4/1)

Given his consistency, BADEN is taken to win this having run well at Cheltenham last time out. Silent Steps isn't ruled out in first-time headgear while Ballycross isn't out of this if he can reproduce a similar effort to his winning run last time.
