Forecasts

Matterhorn (4/11), Zonda (10/3), Titan Discovery (11/2), Tiny Tetley (18/1), Fortuitous Favour (40/1), Sammy's Guarantee (50/1), Hobbs Joy (100/1), Jukebox Annie (125/1), Captain Marco (250/1), Basman Palace (250/1), Yogi's Trail (300/1)

Course-winner MATTERHORN sets the bar pretty high here and can make a winning return. Zonda is feared most after his encouraging Chepstow debut last month, whilst Titan Discovery and hurdling-debutant Tiny Tetley also enter calculations.
