Forecasts

Crooked Tannie (10/3), Park The Giant (7/2), Winning Smut (4/1), Moonlight Jazz (9/2), St Cuthbert's Cave (7/1), Hackney Hill (9/1), Jet Setting Jim (16/1), Presenting Max (16/1), Ollie La Ba Ba (18/1), Ally Kazoo (25/1), Safran Et Bleu (80/1), Wolfhill (100/1), Ikalimix (125/1), Tokens Glory (150/1)

JET SETTING JIM was really strong at the finish when landing a 2m bumper in the autumn and upped in trip on this hurdles debut, he gets the tentative nod. Park The Giant and Crooked Tannie are feared most.
