Forecasts

Visionarian (2/1), Hannon (2/1), Mighty Meggsie (5/1), Hybery (13/2), Cottie (13/2), Serenity Grove (15/2), Wouldn't You Agree (10/1), The Declaimer (14/1), Don Diablo (16/1), Mullins Cross (100/1), Eye Of The Dragon (150/1)

HANNON is taken to get his career back on track now returning to fences. Like the selection, Visionarian is a useful hurdler and will be a threat if taking to fences at the first time of asking. Henry de Bromhead chase newcomers Serenity Grove, the mount of Rachael Blackmore, and Cottie are also respected.
