Forecasts

Pescatorius (13/8), Mokoro (9/4), Mister Upton (3/1), Footloose Man (11/2), Noble Cave (6/1), Celtic Fortune (15/2), Rajjamataz (12/1), Gone In Sixty (12/1), Mawlood (125/1)

MOKORO was a good second over hurdles last time and could be up to making a winning start over fences with all his rivals arriving with something to prove. Pescatorius and Mister Upton have failed to meet expectations for their current stable but are both capable at this level.
