Forecasts

Old Bill Barley (1/1), Caldwell Diamond (4/1), Spirit Of Legend (4/1), Iheardupainthouses (9/2), Bella Bliss (7/1), Pharisees (14/1), Shandancer (20/1), Carraig Gorm (33/1), Mollys Dream (40/1), Court Cian (66/1), Sir Rock (150/1)

CALDWELL DIAMOND was no match for a useful rival over hurdles last month but he beat the rest readily and looks the way to go back in a bumper. Old Bill Barley is an obvious sort on paper while Spirit of Legend fetched six-figures on the back of a runner-up effort between the flags.
