Forecasts

L'Homme Presse (9/4), Bravemansgame (11/4), Envoi Allen (4/1), Hitman (11/1), Royale Pagaille (12/1), Ahoy Senor (12/1), Frodon (18/1), Eldorado Allen (18/1), Millers Bank (40/1)

It was some performance from L'HOMME PRESSE to defy a lofty mark of 164 with something to spare in the Rehearsal at Newcastle and he can make it an impressive 7-8 over fences. Charlie Hall winner Bravemansgame, who is bidding to provide Paul Nicholls with a remarkable 13th win in this midwinter highlight, is feared most ahead of Envoi Allen, who got his career firmly back on track when stepped up to 3m at Down Royal last time.
