Forecasts

Verdana Blue (1/3), Gumball (4/1), Twist (7/1), Heart Of Soul (8/1), Et Moi Alors (25/1), Sacred Sprite (50/1), Puzzle Cache (150/1), Lawyersgunsn'money (200/1), Ace Cheetah (250/1), Oborne Lady (250/1)

VERDANA BLUE stands out on Flat form, and can round off her Champion Hurdle preparation with a straightforward success dropped into novice company. Heart of Soul has been off for a while, but makes most appeal of the others ahead of the favourite's stablemate Twist.
