Forecasts

Post No Bills (5/4), Jeudidee (13/8), Amalfi Bay (5/1), Ancient Capital (14/1), Go On Ya Goodthing (18/1), Bowmans Dream (200/1), Getaway Tothe Wood (200/1)

JEUDIDEE has the best hurdling form and is fancied to enhance a good strike rate at the likely expense of Post No Bills, who is a big player based on chasing form. Amalfi Bay is the pick of the rest.
