Forecasts

Norton Hill (13/8), Island Run (15/8), Earth King (9/2), Blue Ridge Hill (15/2), Emotional Memories (16/1)

EARTH KING has lost the plot over fences but is well treated on the form he showed over hurdles last spring and might be worth chancing back over timber in first-time headgear. Island Run has been back to form this spring and is second choice ahead of Norton Hill.
