Forecasts

Don't Tell Su (4/11), Moorefields (15/2), Doyen Quest (15/2), Nordic Storm (12/1), Letthedustsettle (14/1), Royal Jewel (18/1), Iris Des Issards (20/1), Sammy's Guarantee (40/1), Ballynaheer (66/1), Mountain Bay (66/1), Bobbi's Beauty (150/1), Can't Say (200/1), Daring Plan (200/1), Freddie Fleetfoot (200/1), Gorcombe Fizz (200/1)

DON'T TELL SU bumped into a subsequent Grade 2 winner when second on his Chepstow hurdle debut and can go one better now for the Paul Nicholls team. Dan Skelton bumper winner Doyen Quest looks the obvious danger, with Letthedustsettle best of the remainder.
