Forecasts

Now Is The Hour (6/4), Fortunedefortunata (15/8), An Epic Song (11/4), Extrapolation (8/1), Summer Tide (18/1), Mister Wilson (18/1), Sea Road Fill (50/1), Pont Audemer (66/1), Cosmic Blizzard (125/1)

Verdict

NOW IS THE HOUR is a useful hurdler who stays much further but he promises to do even better over fences and this looks a good opening. Fortunedefortunata could be the danger.
