Forecasts

Fenna's Loss (5/4), Tip Top Tonto (11/4), Vokolohs (3/1), Dreaming Of Glory (9/2), Valamix (13/2), High Yield (10/1), Thistle Do (28/1)

FENNA'S LOSS was quite a commanding winner of a Hexham bumper starting out for this yard 3 weeks ago and, pitched in at a very realistic level now hurdling, he looks the way to go. Vokolohs has been off the track over a year following his point run but he's in good hands and the market may reveal plenty.
