Forecasts

Apple's Of Bresil (11/10), Portcammon (10/3), The Mediator (5/1), Olympy De Cerisy (7/1), Oh So Charming (15/2), Itsalladream (12/1), Leave In Secret (20/1), Elafonisi (50/1), Between Friends (50/1), Desert Haven (66/1), Way Down South (100/1), Florida Taiga (100/1), Nothingtoseehere (100/1), Banner Boy (100/1), Mount Mandela (125/1), Stily (125/1), Siul Molly Siul (150/1), Rag N Bone (150/1), Storm Steps (150/1), Willwetakeher (200/1)

PORTCAMMON is sure to be well schooled ahead of this hurdles debut given the yard he represents so he could be the way to go. Fellow-bumper winner Apple's of Bresil is an obvious danger, along with The Mediator.
