Forecasts

Finsceal Annie (4/1), Feature This (4/1), Comfort Line (9/2), Hope And Innocence (8/1), Jalo (17/2), Hale Bopp (17/2), Task Ahead (17/2), Nawraq (14/1), Hastily (20/1), Perfect Curves (22/1), Draiocht (33/1), Top Of The Pops (33/1), Sky Legend (33/1)

NAWRAQ has never really looked a natural over hurdles so his recent efforts in that code can be excused and he's fancied to get back on track returned to the Flat. Feature This has a good-value 10 lb claimer up so she's in the mix, along with Comfort Line.
