Forecasts

Jazzy Dancer (10/3), Hero Of The Hour (4/1), No Speed Limit (13/2), Mether (7/1), Havana Notion (15/2), Theriverrunsdeep (11/1), Lockdown (11/1), Zig Zag Zyggy (11/1), Empress Of Bough (14/1), Teddy Boy (14/1), Kuwait Direction (28/1), Darcy's Rock (28/1), Suityourselfboss (50/1), Sense Of Security (100/1)

HERO OF THE HOUR shaped well over 7f here last week and is worth siding with to build on that promise having dipped to below his last winning mark. Lockdown was only narrowly denied over C&D last time and heads the dangers along with Havana Notion and Darcy's Rock, the mount of Colin Keane.
