Forecasts

Khrisma (5/2), Runcok (3/1), Naturally Nimble (4/1), Zoffman (4/1), Casheldale Lad (13/2), Sine Qua Non (14/1), Fiver Friday (22/1), Deanery Charlie (25/1), Between Friends (80/1), Kotkito Bello (80/1), Struck Oil (125/1), Hardysonofdan (150/1), Lecale's Diamond (150/1)

This represents a drop in grade for NATURALLY NIMBLE who wasn't at his best in a Grade 1 at Aintree last month but can get back on track with cheekpieces fitted for the first-time. Fellow class dropper Runcok won over this C&D on penultimate start and looks a big threat for the imperious Mullins team, while British challenger Khrisma is open to improvement on just her second start over hurdles. Sine Qua Non shaped well in a bumper on Rules debut and deserves an honourable mention on hurdles bow.
