Forecasts

Jon Snow (11/10), Alfa Mix (7/2), Perfect Attitude (11/2), Walking On Glass (6/1), Fakiera (17/2), Captain Kangaroo (22/1), Oscar Academy (28/1), Quaker Island (50/1)

JON SNOW was the best of these over hurdles and showed plenty to work on when third in a novice chase at Galway on debut over fences last month, so gets the vote. Alfa Mix is next best ahead of Walking On Glass.
