Forecasts

Now Is The Hour (9/4), Sandor Clegane (7/2), Karl Des Tourelles (4/1), Win Some Lose Some (5/1), Lucky Lyreen (10/1), The Enabler (12/1), Flicker Of Hope (12/1), So They Tell Me (25/1), Fairyland Opera (33/1), Zeeband (66/1)

WIN SOME LOSE SOME shaped well in a decent race at Galway on last month's chase debut and is given a chance to build on that promise. Now Is The Hour had some useful form over fences last season and is second choice ahead of chase newcomers Lucky Lyreen and Karl des Tourelles.
