Forecasts

State Man (4/9), Brighterdaysahead (9/4), Lossiemouth (9/4), Daddy Long Legs (14/1), Sir Gerhard (18/1), Winter Fog (28/1), Smooth Tom (150/1), No Looking Back (200/1)

STATE MAN has to be considered the one to beat as he goes in search of a third successive Morgiana but his stablemate Lossiemouth looks potentially top class herself and should ensure the Champion Hurdle winner doesn't have things all his own way. Progressive Jezki Hurdle winner Brighterdaysahead looks clear best of the remainder.
