Forecasts

Regent's Stroll (8/11), Alexei (9/2), Fingle Bridge (7/1), Julius Des Pictons (10/1), Dodger Long (11/1), Pony Soprano (18/1)

REGENT'S STROLL lost his unbeaten record when fourth in Newbury's Challow Hurdle last time but remains a young hurdler going places and is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of Joe Tizzard's unexposed Alexei who should ensure Paul Nicholls' 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Dodger Long and Fingle Bridge appeal as the duo to fight it out for minor honours.
