Forecasts

Petticoat Tails (5/4), Midnight Tune (9/4), Just A Thought (9/4), Westerberry (33/1), Kalarika (50/1)

PETTICOAT TAILS was above average in bumpers last season and finished with a solid effort in an Aintree Grade 2 (third). Warren Greatrex has team in super form right now and his booking of the champion jockey bodes well for this first jumping test. Midnight Tune put up a super effort over C&D on reappearance last month to be second and will be more than willing to take advantage should the selection encounter trouble while Just A Thought definitely has the potential to provide her trainer with a welcome winner.
