Forecasts

Absolute Notions (1/12), Joyeux Machin (13/8), Starman (8/1), Cruisin Susan (28/1)

ABSOLUTE NOTIONS was going the right way prior to his disappointing effort in the Sefton Novices Hurdle last April and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get back on track here. Joyeux Machin is the obvious danger.
