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)

Verdict

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.

  1. THINK FIRST (IRE)
  2. TRUDIE GLEN (FR)
  3. AUTHOCELTIC (FR)
