Forecasts

Modus (4/6), Kalondra (15/8), Valhalla (7/1)

Trainer Paul Nicholls has won this contest three times in the last four years and his MODUS can take this years renewal. The classy hurdler made a winning debut over fences last month and with the trip and forecast underfoot conditions likely to suit he can defeat Kalondra who also made a winning debut over fences while Valhalla can claim third place prize money today.
