Forecasts

The Kniphand (1/1), Lilting Verse (11/4), A Definite Getaway (10/3), Imperial Merlin (9/1)

A trappy contest but LILTING VERSE still looked a work in progress when coming out fractionally on top at Huntingdon just under 3 weeks ago, so Fergal O'Brien's mare gets the nod to progress again and take her tally to 2-3 in this sphere. The Kniphand has taken his form up a notch this season, so he's marginally preferred to Imperial Merlin for the forecast spot.
