Forecasts

Ramillies (4/9), The Waltzer (3/1), Mr Saxobeat (6/1), Broken Bond (8/1), Rockon Henry (40/1), Sammy Smart (50/1), Kalnoo (66/1), Light Parade (80/1), Ballinaboola Tiger (80/1), Ger Mac (100/1), Imperial Kate (150/1), Leading Oak (150/1), Gelisko (200/1), Ask Berlioz (200/1)

RAMILLIES displayed plenty of talent in bumpers and would likely have been second to his stablemate on his hurdles debut had it not been for a late error. He can find enough improvement to get the better of The Waltzer in a race that the pair are fully expected to have between them.
