Forecasts

Love Is Golden (5/2), Churchills Boy (10/3), Bold Reaction (4/1), Tightenourbelts (4/1), Bashers Reflection (6/1), Last Of A Legend (8/1), Baddesley (14/1), El Muchacho (14/1), Cherry Cola (16/1), Godot (20/1), Hall Lane (22/1), Kaleb (33/1)

LOVE IS GOLDEN has taken well to hurdling and, having doubled his tally in ready fashion at Newbury last time, he looks potentially well treated off an opening mark of 125. Tightenourbelts is open to improvement and Bold Reaction also looks the type to do better now handicapping.
