Forecasts

Lucky Place (1/2), Thomas Mor (18/5), Jet To Vegas (4/1), Beat The Bat (9/2)

LUCKY PLACE brings considerable potential to the novice chasing ranks and last year's Relkeel Hurdle victor is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Jet To Vegas, no slouch over hurdles either, shaped well when runner-up on his fencing bow at Perth last month and should ensure Nicky Henderson's smart sort doesn't have things all his own way.
