Forecasts

Think First (11/4), Authoceltic (10/3), Jumeirah King (4/1), Lion Wait (4/1), Guard Duty (4/1), Minella Miracle (12/1), Trudie Glen (12/1), Either Way (16/1), Zain Farhh (33/1), Red Hugh (40/1), Queens Venture (40/1), Selectivelistening (200/1)

Preference is for THINK FIRST, who showed plenty of aptitude for hurdling when finishing runner-up at Doncaster in November and Neil Mulholland's charge can go one better arriving fit from the Flat. Trudie Glen has shown promise in a couple of maiden hurdles this spring and she should have more to offer for her top yard, with Authoceltic and Guard Duty another couple worth considering, also.
