Forecasts

Baily Thunder (7/2), Lord Lariat (7/2), The Trigger (7/2), My Manekineko (11/2), Finding Joy (6/1), Ashqar (6/1), Fruits Of Glory (17/2), Kilganer Queen (9/1), Pepper'n Salt (10/1), Trendsetter (12/1), Peacocks Secret (18/1), Chase End Charlie (40/1)

MY MANEKINEKO is better over fences than hurdles, but his mark reflects that and representing an in-form yard, he could be the answer. Lord Lariat could easily resume his progress and is feared, while Fruits of Glory could be interesting at a price.
