Forecasts

Hydroplane (11/10), Lively Citizen (13/8), Sayar (8/1), En Meme Temps (11/1), Balkardy (14/1), Meteorite (16/1), Monarchofthegrange (20/1), Ginistrelli (33/1), Cronk Y Knox (40/1)

Verdict

HYDROPLANE was behind Lively Citizen at Cheltenham in November, but he appears to have improved since and is taken to emerge on top here following an impressive display in a jumpers bumper at Lingfield recently. Lively Citizen is nevertheless feared greatly, while and Cronk Y Knox is of interest now handicapping.
