Forecasts

Hansard (9/4), Rubaud (11/4), Ukantango (7/2), Mullenbeg (7/1), Imperial Bede (10/1), Postmark (16/1), Kayf Legend (25/1)

IMPERIAL BEDE impressed with his slick jumping when winning a Huntingdon maiden and it would be no surprise whatsoever were he to take this step up in class in his stride. Jonjo O'Neill's charge is an appealing alternative to likely favourite Hansard, who is 2-2 in this sphere and merits the utmost respect. It's probably best to draw a line though Rubaud's effort in the Betfair Hurdle and he looks dangerous, while cases can also be made for Mullenbeg and Ukantango
