Forecasts

Before Midnight (6/4), De Forgotten One (7/4), Debrouillard (9/2), Early Learner (9/2), Imperial Elysian (11/2), Chocolate Box (13/2), Colonel Miller (9/1), Ah Well (66/1)

Plenty to ponder here, with Colonel Miller, Chocolate Box, De Forgotten One and Imperial Elysian all of interest on their respective hurdles debuts, while Early Learner was too bad to be true last time and there is surely more to come. However, there also looks likely to be better ahead for BEFORE MIDNIGHT, for whom Nicky Henderson looks to have found a good chance to break his duck this time.
