Forecasts

Thyme Hill (4/7), McFabulous (2/1), Gelino Bello (9/4), Mortlach (9/1)

Only the 3 runners but intriguing nevertheless with the vote in favour of THYME HILL. A fine second in last season's Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham, he largely jumped well when off the mark on chasing bow at Exeter 3 weeks ago and can come out on top. The Paul Nicholls-trainer Mcfabulous is a similarly exciting chase prospect, and won't allow the selection to have things all his own way.
