Forecasts

Hypotenus (2/1), Bertie's Ballet (11/4), Recoup (4/1), Lily Du Berlais (5/1), Panjari (11/2), Titanium Moon (13/2), Whistle Stop Tour (18/1)

Cases can be made for most, but preference is for RECOUP, who pulled well clear with a subsequent winner on his yard/hurdling debut at Ludlow back in October and Fergal O'Brien's 5-y-o should have plenty more to offer in this sphere. Titanium Moon wasn't hard pressed to make it 4 novice wins in a row when last seen at Stratford 6 months ago, so she's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Hypotenus, who is clearly talented but needs to learn to jump better.
