Forecasts

Brahms De Clermont (10/11), Show On The Road (6/1), Grapevine (6/1), Parthenius (8/1), Sizing Cusimano (12/1), Desiremoi D'Authie (12/1), Friday Night Light (20/1), Flight To Milan (50/1), Duc Kauto (66/1), Miss Tynte (80/1), Ticket To Ride (100/1), Flying Verse (100/1), Emell (150/1), Bergholt (200/1)

This will be a tough ask for BRAHMS DE CLERMONT under a double penalty but the manner of his latest win suggests he is up to the challenge and he gets the nod once more. Show On The Road is certainly a danger in receipt of 12lb after a good second last time over C&D. There are several hurdling newcomers worthy of respect and the best of them could prove to be Grapevine for champion trainer Nicky Henderson.
