Forecasts

Isaac Des Obeaux (5/2), Doyen For Money (11/4), Range (4/1), Top Kap (8/1), Harvie Wallbanger (10/1), Dirk Gently (10/1), He Knows Better (12/1), Ballyhawkish (14/1), Genovese (18/1), Secret Plan (33/1), Hector's Hope (66/1), Ibiza Rocks (100/1), Ruby's Comet (100/1), Fifty Shades Ovhay (125/1)

The Paul Nicholls stable has made an excellent start to the season in bumpers and his newcomer ISAAC DES OBEAUX makes plenty of appeal on paper, so he gets the marginal vote over point-winner Doyen For Money, who should be ready to go. Genovese is respected under a penalty.
