Forecasts

Diligent (4/9), Every Breakin Wave (9/4), Southfield Lily (22/1), Oscars Reign (40/1)

DILIGENT has thrived over fences for his current yard this year, racking up 5 wins, so he'll proved hard to beat if transferring that form back to hurdles, especially in receipt of plenty of weight from chief rival Every Breakin Wave.
