Forecasts

Captain Tom Cat (5/2), Presentandcounting (5/1), Brief Times (5/1), Grandeur D'ame (13/2), The Big Bite (15/2), Shang Tang (10/1), Barton Knoll (12/1), La Domaniale (14/1), Jemima P (20/1)

Verdict

PRESENTANDCOUNTING has been prolific over both fences and hurdles and has slipped in the weights, so is fancied to regain the winning thread after a recent pipe-opener at Cheltenham. The Big Bite is still potentially well treated after his Newbury success, with Captain Tom Cat and La Domaniale others to consider in a strong contest.
