Forecasts

Parody (2/5), Moans Cross (2/1), Eden Flyer (33/1)

A very similar scenario to last year when Paul Nicholls saddled the odds-on favourite although he will be hoping for a different result on this occasion as he was beaten into second last year. With the weights greatly favouring his PARODY this year who powered home over C&D earlier this month he should be able to redress the balance before she is given stiffer tasks. Moans Cross has shown ability over hurdles but faces a stiff task at the weights having won a poor contest at Uttoxeter last time. The best that Eden Flyer can hope for is a clear round and a handicap mark.
