Forecasts

Hubrisko (5/6), Glen Wyllin (9/4), Bust Or Bray Dee (6/1), Carrig Sam (12/1), Changing The Rules (18/1), Little Big Rocky (20/1), Reddys Island (28/1), Rio Biumoso (50/1), Wild Hunt (100/1), Maxxum (125/1), Wish Me (200/1), Road Bridge (200/1), The Glenman (250/1)

Given the high level of form GLEN WYLLIN displayed in bumpers, he has to be worth another chance over hurdles now setting out for a new yard. Hubrisko and Bust Or Bray Dee appeal as the chief dangers.
