Forecasts

How About No (5/6), Big Chou (4/1), Charlie's Dilemma (11/2), Stay Gold (12/1), Useta Lover (16/1), Storms End (18/1), Where's Nanny (20/1), Truly Elegant (25/1), Massabielle (40/1), Ourgingernut (50/1), John The Spark (66/1), Chief O'Hara (66/1), Niosfearabolt (66/1), Pharney Soldier (100/1), Rag N Bone (100/1), Elite Etoile (125/1), Hurricane Joey (200/1)

This represents a good opportunity for HOW ABOUT NO to deservedly open his account in this sphere. A winner on the Flat in February, he has found one too good on each of his three starts over hurdles. Big Chou was safely held in a bumper last December but previously shaped well in a Naas maiden hurdle and he gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Charlie's Dilemma and Stay Gold.
