Forecasts

Pileon (9/2), Art Approval (5/1), Tamar Bridge (11/2), Botox Has (13/2), My Bobby Dazzler (15/2), Spiritofthegames (10/1), Ask Dillon (12/1), Kansas City Chief (14/1), Whatsupwithyou (14/1), Stoney Mountain (22/1), Dolphin Square (28/1), The Mighty Don (33/1), Sirobbie (50/1), Cracking Smart (80/1)

SPIRITOFTHEGAMES' strike rate will put a few off but from a handicapping perspective he has been given a massive chance back over hurdles so at the forecast odds, he is worth siding with. Tamar Bridge is on the up and has to be feared, along with Pileon and Whatsupwithyou, both of whom with placed form in the Martin Pipe to call upon.
