Forecasts

Our Zebo (10/11), Thehairyfella (6/1), Mrs Biddle (8/1), Jimli's Cave (9/1), Ocodango Boy (9/1), Backonthegoagain (10/1), Committee Meeting (12/1), Rust To Riches (18/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (20/1)

OUR ZEBO found his recent improvement over hurdles coming to a halt last time but he's potentially very well handicapped back in this sphere, so gets the vote over long-standing maidens Thehairyfella and Ocodango Boy.
