Forecasts

Surrey Quest (11/4), Malinello (10/3), Bold Endeavour (4/1), Unanswered Prayers (5/1), Halo Des Obeaux (6/1), Doctor Ken (13/2), Tea For Free (7/1), Nothin To Ask (8/1), Eyeofthescorpion (12/1), Rakhine State (33/1)

Cases can be made for most but TEA FOR FREE made it 3 from 3 over the larger obstacles at Uttoxeter 7 weeks ago and with his idle tendencies likely to keep him a step ahead of the handicapper, Charlie Longsdon's charge is fancied to complete the 4-timer. Bold Endeavour left his chasing debut form behind when scoring on first start for Nicky Henderson at Leicester so he heads up the dangers, ahead of Nothin To Ask and Doctor Ken.
