Forecasts
John Barbour (1/3), Don't Mind If I Do (10/3), Judgementofsolomon (7/2), I Play County (5/1), Coconut Grove (6/1), Rene's Walk (6/1), Jasmin Bellevue (8/1), Lasting Love (12/1), Goodbyemick (20/1), Amancio (50/1)
DON'T MIND IF I DO disappointed when turned over at short odds last time, but his previous form reads well, not least his second in a big-field bumper here last spring, so he's well worth another chance to defy a penalty. John Barbour can improve on his opening effort in this sphere at Ludlow, while Judgementofsolomon is a noteworthy newcomer to hurdling based on his fairly useful Flat form.
