Forecasts

Bohemian Birch (1/1), Erins Benefit (15/8), Humble Glory (7/1), Wild Caprice (10/1), Moonlight Symphony (14/1), Petite Dame (20/1), Robyndeglory (20/1), Diaspora (20/1), No Fame No Game (40/1), Gale At Sea (50/1), Psychee Du Brizais (50/1), Jasper Bear (125/1), Global Mayhem (150/1), Thorndale Rose (150/1)

BOHEMIAN BIRCH looked above average when comfortably landing a bumper at Sligo in October and he's firmly expected to supplement that success now his attentions are turned to hurdling. Ex-pointer Humble Glory also demands respect starting out under Rules for Gordon Elliott and, of those with prior hurdling form, Erins Benefit stands out.
