Forecasts

Fat Faced Columbo (6/4), Bertie Wooster (9/2), Inchagoill Lady (11/2), Move With The Beat (10/1), Only Gossip (11/1), Ballyfinn (11/1), Dyno Dave (14/1), Hello Cello (18/1), Reforme (22/1), Jongleur D'etoiles (25/1)

FAT FACED COLUMBO has had the form of his Exeter chase debut near miss boosted and still looks on a good mark despite a 6 lb rise. Ballyfinn is entitled to come on for his own chase debut, given it came after an absence, and is second choice unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Nicky Henderson handicap chase newcomer Dyno Dave.
