Forecasts

Panjari (1/1), Zonda (10/3), Pyffo (5/1), Donnacha (11/2), Classic King (7/1), Diamond Dealer (9/1), Inion Tiogair (10/1), Artistic Endeavour (14/1), Illogical Logic (40/1), Thatza Dazzler (40/1), Dexperado (125/1), Jimmy Boum (200/1), Little Pi (250/1), Blagthebookies (250/1)

Verdict

PANJARI is an exciting recruit to this sphere having shown useful form on the Flat in Germany, so he gets the nod to get his hurdling career off to the perfect start. Donnacha offered plenty to work on both starts over hurdles last season and has the potential to do better still if cutting out the errors, while newcomer Zonda makes appeal on paper for last year's winning yard.
