Forecasts

I'm A Lumberjack (30/100), Ronnies Rules (9/4), Kahavari (7/2), Groovy Blue (4/1), Bear Market (5/1), Paddys Policy (7/1), Another Pearl (16/1), Star Of Hoiho (16/1), King Gris (25/1), Off To Alabama (33/1), Troop Ship (40/1), Annies Gold (80/1), Just Tell Robyn (200/1)

Unbeaten in 3 starts in bumpers, RONNIES RULES banished the memory of his pair of non-completions over hurdles in the autumn when running out an easy winner of a Ffos Las maiden 7 days ago. Open to further improvement, including at this longer trip, he gets the nod to follow up. I'm A Lumberjack sets the form standard on his achievements during the winter and Alan King's 6-y-o is an obvious threat. Kahavari and completes the shortlist.
