Forecasts

Lord Lariat (11/4), That's Lifebuoy (3/1), Walk Me Home (3/1), Hewick (3/1), Se Mo Laoch (6/1), Thunderosa (11/1), Live Every Day (11/1), Artic Pearl (11/1), Fizzlestick (11/1), Whatucallher (16/1), Ardaghs Choice (16/1), Rueben James (22/1), Trickey Trix (25/1), Majurca (40/1), Brosna George (100/1)

LORD LARIAT has progressed nicely in handicap chases and is potentially well treated back over hurdles for his new stable, so he's put forward as the answer. Hewick and Walk Me Home are a couple of potential threats in a competitive heat.
