Forecasts

Kudasheva (7/4), Four Clean Aces (11/4), Lucky Viv (5/1), Ballycashin (11/2), Silent Approach (6/1), Workforadime (25/1), Faux Fur (28/1), Rachel's Secret (40/1), Straight Home (40/1), Go Cindy Go (50/1), Joe Hannigan (50/1), Cedar Wood (80/1), Half Off Six Pence (100/1), French Milan (100/1), Salt Bridge (100/1), Yourenotthebossame (125/1), Tastyee (150/1)

KUDASHEVA folded tamely when last seen but she'd won a point and shown promise in this sphere prior to that, so she's worth a chance to make a successful return from 7 months off. Four Clean Aces is yet to match her bumper form over hurdles, but a cleaner round of jumping will put her in the picture, and a return to form from Silent Approach would give her a chance.
