Forecasts

Heart Of A Lion (11/4), Henri Le Bon (6/1), Passing Shadow (13/2), Bard Of Brittany (8/1), Spanish Jump (17/2), Methag (9/1), The Knot Is Tied (12/1), Get With It (12/1), Kloud Gate (14/1), Drewmain Legend (14/1), Always Resolute (16/1), Daranova (20/1), Diakosaint (20/1), Scrutinise (20/1), Stylish Dancer (22/1), Phantomoftheoscar (25/1), Dalkadam (66/1), Linger (80/1)

If there's a runner with the potential to be a long way ahead of their mark it's surely HEART OF A LION, who was good enough to win a bumper and his qualifying runs over hurdles were pretty promising. Passing Shadow is a solid opponent, while Spanish Jump is also a likely improver.
