Forecasts

Pogo I Am (7/4), Say Nothing (11/4), Cuillin (11/4), Felicidad (15/2), Perfect Grace (10/1), Mighty Meg (14/1), I'lletyougonow (25/1), Lyrical Ballad (40/1), Quiet Shy (50/1), Rose Of Dubai (150/1)

POGO I AM was below market expectations on hurdling debut last August but the absence since suggests something may have been amiss and she can make amends in a face that will take little winning. Cuillin has improved on the Flat since her debut over hurdles so no surprise should she leave that form behind and along with Felicidad may chase the selection home.
