Forecasts

Style De Garde (1/2), Embole (6/4), Long Call (12/1)

This looks like a match between Embole and STYLE DE GARDE and despite the red hot recent form of the Dan Skelton team, his gelding will do well to peg back Nicky Henderson's, if the latter runs to something like his usual form on his chase debut.
