Forecasts

Potters Party (13/8), Deons Diamond (2/1), Hard Rain (4/1), No Thanks (6/1), Jenny Flex (8/1), Nevermindestranger (8/1), Inforapenny (10/1), Petit King (14/1), Song For My Father (16/1), Quite Incredible (20/1)

POTTERS PARTY is the type to make a better chaser than hurdler and he's marginally preferred to fellow chasing debutant Deons Diamond, who is unexposed. Hard Rain is the pick of those with experience in this sphere.
