Forecasts

Plontier (1/1), Charlie's Dilemma (3/1), Bobbysingindablues (9/2), Hungry Rock (15/2), Morph Speed (16/1), Love Like This (22/1), Aill Dubh (40/1), Sir Carnegie (80/1), Milan's Ruby (125/1), Pure Design (150/1)

This is a fairly late hurdles debut for PLONTIER but he couldn't be in any better hands and useful on the level in Europe, he may well outclass these. Charlie's Dilemma is the obvious threat.
