Forecasts

Ben Buie (5/2), Captain Ivan (5/2), Obey The Rules (11/4), Crack Du Ninian (3/1), Keepyourdreamsbig (10/3), Happy Du Mesnil (10/1), The Knot Is Tied (14/1)

Verdict

A dual winner over hurdles last year, CAPTAIN IVAN capitalised on his much-reduced mark to open his account over fences at Southwell 4 weeks ago, ultimately winning readily. He gets the vote to back that up and come out on top again, with low-mileage 4-y-o Keepyourdreamsbig next best. C&D winner Obey The Rules and Crack du Ninian are others worth a look.
