Forecasts

Paso Doble (10/11), Grisbi De Berce (10/3), Restandbethankful (4/1), Bombyx (11/2), Flinteur Sacre (11/2), Voice Of Calm (17/2), Ajax Tavern (50/1), The Throstles (66/1), Ocho Grande (150/1), Word Of Honour (200/1), Confab (250/1), Emojie (250/1)

A few promising sorts in this line-up but it's still hard to ignore the claims of PASO DOBLE, who made a very good start over hurdles in the Adonis here at the end of February and appeals as one who should do very well in novice hurdles this season. Restandbethankful also has plenty of potential and he can follow the selection home ahead of Grisbi de Berce.
