Forecasts

Buzz (2/1), Thyme Hill (5/2), Ronald Pump (3/1), Champ (4/1), Paisley Park (11/2), Thomas Darby (9/1), On The Blind Side (12/1), Third Wind (22/1), Lisnagar Oscar (40/1)

A high-class renewal. In the absence of Buzz, last year's runner-up and Aintree Stayers' Hurdle winner THYME HILL can get back to winning ways and put a lesser reappearance effort in France firmly behind him. Irish-challenger Ronald Pump looks the main threat now back at his optimum trip, with highly talented Champ not discounted either returned to hurdles.
