Forecasts

Monbeg Legend (6/4), Global Bonus (11/4), Rollo's Reflection (3/1), Alpha Indi (7/1), West Class (25/1), Top Of The Morning (25/1)

Of those to have run over hurdles, Alpha Indi and Rollo's Reflection make most appeal, but there is a strong chance that MONBEG LEGEND is a class above them given the evidence of his winning debut in a point-to-point. He represents a top stable and should be fit enough to do himself justice after his long lay-off.
