Forecasts

First Confession (10/11), Milan Tino (6/4), Honky Tonk Highway (2/1), Oak Grove (13/2), Marvellous Mick (16/1)

FIRST CONFESSION made a highly promising start over hurdles in a field of previous winners at Cheltenham last month and, open to oodles of improvement, he can make his second outing in this sphere a winning one. Milan Tino sets the standard on the pick of his form and is the obvious danger.
