Forecasts

Plains Indian (3/1), Au Fleuron (4/1), Bois De Clamart (5/1), Georgette Fun (6/1), Dinny Lacey (8/1), Wouldn't You Agree (10/1), Happy Jacky (12/1), Rhythm Divine (12/1), Crosshill (12/1), Bread And Butter (16/1), Damalisque (16/1), Morosini (25/1), Rebel Early (25/1), Wolf Prince (28/1), Priory Park (33/1), Quirt Evans (50/1), Hilltop Supreme (66/1)

BOIS DE CLAMART returns to hurdles off a mark 5lb lower than when landing a decent prize over fences at Gowran last month and may be capable of following up for his in-form yard. The unexposed Au Fleuron acquitted himself quite well when pitched into the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham on his handicap debut and he's much respected for the Elliott yard. Georgette Fun, another with few miles on the clock, and Bread And Butter also make the shortlist.
