Forecasts
Blow By Blow (1/1), Nick Lost (7/2), Cubomania (6/1), Some Neck (7/1), Orion D'Aubrelle (10/1), Cap D'Aubois (33/1)
Cheltenham Festival winner BLOW BY BLOW made a fine start to his chasing career at Galway last month and, while this is a step up in class, he looks to have a bright future in this sphere and is the one to beat. Gordon Elliott's second runner Cubomania is not readily dismissed after a good novice success at Cheltenham last time. Nick Lost is likely the one that will set the pace and shouldn't be granted too much rope while Orion D'Aubrelle appears the more likely of Mullins pair to go well.
