Forecasts

Substantial (15/8), Follow Your Heart (3/1), Thapa VC (11/2), Got No Dollars (6/1), Helm Rock (8/1), Green Power (11/1), Thaki (25/1), Helluvaboy (50/1), Time To Burn (150/1)

FOLLOW YOUR HEART gets the nod back at the scene of his win in December, although a strong market move for the William Haggas handicap newcomer Substantial would put a different slant on things. Got No Dollars has a very solid AW record since joining Stuart Williams and is also on the shortlist in a competitive race for the grade.
