Forecasts

Heatherdown Hero (9/4), Quercus Robur (6/1), Valley Of Flowers (6/1), Easy Equation (7/1), Prince Abu (15/2), Mount Olympus (11/1), Manyana (12/1), Kitten's Dream (14/1), Oh So Chic (14/1), Riggsby (16/1), Foursome (25/1), Artemis Sky (40/1)

Having got off the mark at Chelmsford in October, HEATHERDOWN HERO had little chance the way the race unfolded back there 4 weeks ago, so he's well worth another chance. This is a more suitable assignment for Easy Equation back on the level and he's a threat, along with Oh So Chic.
