Forecasts

Annie Mc (5/4), Alsa Mix (13/8), With Discretion (7/2), Dahills Hill (66/1)

Despite the fact she disappointed on chase debut when beaten 21-length into second, WITH DISCRETION looks worth giving another chance to given the regard her trainer holds her in, and the fact she receives 6lb from her two chief rivals. She can add to Nicky Henderson's 32% strike-rate at this Yorkshire track. Her main danger looks to be Annie Mc, who made the most of the 5lb she received from the talented If You Say run to make a winning chase debut on Boxing Day. She did that in ready fashion and is greatly feared. Alsa Mix should have no problems picking up third-place prize money given she has won and been placed in a pair of 'Listed' events this season.
