Forecasts

Yeavering Belle (1/5), Ena Baie (11/8), The Crafty Touch (7/2), Kapoupakap (20/1), Triggywinkle (66/1), No No Tonic (125/1), Russian's Legacy (150/1)

It seems certain that Ena Baie will improve on her hurdling debut in November where she didn't find as much as might have been hoped late on. She will have races in her over timber but might have to settle for second-best behind YEAVERING BELLE now. The Warwick bumper winner has also run well in that sphere at Cheltenham and is bred to be better now going jumping. The looks to have it between them, with The Crafty Touch best of the remainder.
