Forecasts

Knight Of Allen (5/6), Authentic Legacy (5/2), Lightning Flash (9/2), The Ron Do Ron (14/1), Kalhandrion (22/1), Lord Of All Saints (40/1), Prairie Queen (250/1)

On what was effectively his debut, KNIGHT OF ALLEN showed much more of what he's about when second in a listed juvenile hurdle at Aintree in December and a repeat here should see Jane Williams' 4-y-o play a lead role. Lightning Flash following his encouraging hurdles debut second is feared, with Authentic Legacy also worth a look having shown plenty of ability in a pair of bumpers.
