Forecasts
Cave Court (15/8), Ned Tanner (5/2), Artic Row (9/2), Dare To Shout (5/1), Mr Saxobeat (9/1)
CAVE COURT has thrived over hurdles this winter and can continue the good work back over fences (at least as good in this sphere). Arctic Row has an excellent record around here and is feared most ahead of the in-form Ned Tanner.
