Forecasts

Ask Me Early (5/4), Kiltealy Briggs (5/1), Coo Star Sivola (6/1), Danny Whizzbang (7/1), A Toi Phil (7/1), Deise Aba (17/2), Dominateur (12/1), Calipso Collonges (18/1)

There's surely more to come from the bold-jumping ASK ME EARLY who can make light of a further 7 lb rise and stretch his unbeaten chase record to 3. It wouldn't be a surprise to see last year's winner Deisa Aba stage a revival in first-time cheekpieces. Dominateur is another who has headgear added, and this should place a bit less pressure on his jumping than the Welsh National.
