Forecasts

Mon Frere (10/11), Cheng Gong (6/4), Templepark (6/4), Ginistrelli (6/1), Smartmandarcy (125/1)

Verdict

Paul Nicholls' MON FRERE should take a big step forward from his recent hurdling bow when considerately handled after an absence and looks hard to beat here. Olly Murphy's Ginistrelli appeals as the one to chase him home, although Cheng Gong goes really well round here and is respected too.
