Forecasts

Lounge Lizard (2/9), Mothill (11/10), Herewegohoney (7/1), I'm Spellbound (7/1)

MOTHILL has shown race-by-race progress over hurdles, finding only one too good on his latest outing at Chepstow in February, and he's fancied to go one place better in receipt of his handy 4-y-o allowance once more. Lounge Lizard is expected to give the selection most to do.
