Forecasts

Notlongtillmay (7/4), Barrichello (9/4), Parliament Hill (11/4), Diamond State (17/2), Fete Champetre (18/1)

NOTLONGTILLMAY picked up where he left off for his previous yard when a taking winner on chase debut at Wetherby, and with further progress on the cards, he looks the way to go. Barrichello and Parliament Hill are the other two on their correct mark and are feared most.
