Forecasts

A Great View (16/5), Bois De Clamart (11/2), Chavi Artist (7/1), Dream Conti (8/1), Nobody Home (17/2), Moyross (9/1), Cuneo (9/1), Myth Buster (14/1), Fairly Legal (16/1), Cusp Of Carabelli (20/1), Oscar Academy (25/1), Freewheelin Dylan (25/1), Burning Ambition (25/1), Cresus De Grissay (28/1), Smithscorner (33/1), Megalomaniac (40/1), Fine Theatre (40/1), Powersbomb (50/1)

NOBODY HOME is in the form of his life at present and a 7 lb rise for his latest success seems unlikely to prevent another bold bid. A Great View is potentially very well threated back over fences judged on his hurdles form, so has to go on the shortlist, along with Chavi Artist.
