Forecasts

The Resdev Tyke (15/8), Itstonitejosephine (3/1), Eagles Reprieve (3/1), Smart Decision (9/2), Aotano (5/1), L'air Du Large (22/1), Mystical Martika (28/1)

The market should reveal plenty but the vote goes to Nicky Henderson's ITSTONITEJOSEPHINE who appeals on pedigree and is fancied to make a winning start. Doncaster debut scorer Smart Decision rates a big threat though, with other hurdling newcomers Eagles Reprieve and L'Air du Large also much respected.
