Forecasts

Ballywood (4/5), Poker School (4/1), Yorkist (5/1), Valseur Du Granval (8/1), I'dliketheoption (12/1)

BALLYWOOD faces no easy task for a novice off topweight, but he was considered a Cheltenham Festival sort prior to his latest defeat and he has been found a good opportunity by his in-form trainer. Poker School and Valseur Du Granval are hard to fancy on current form, but I'dliketheoption will appreciate any further drying out of the ground if fully wound up following a break. The main threat would appear to come from Yorkist who has run to a consistent standard this term and who is also at his best in small fields.
