Forecasts

Lust For Glory (5/4), Vienna Court (2/1), Pink Legend (5/2), Alright Marlene (50/1)

LUST FOR GLORY is arguably the most talented in this field based on hurdling form and shaped with encouragement on just her second chase outing at Wincanton last time, so she gets the nod ahead of Pink Legend, the only previous chase winner in the line-up. Vienna Court also has potential for better in this sphere.
