Forecasts

Conman John (4/11), Dramatic License (11/4), Great Fleet (9/2), Timefortom (6/1), Kelvin Forlonge (9/1), Rightbackatyou (66/1), Whispering Dancer (80/1), Blue Indigo (100/1), Knightphase (100/1), Top Of The Stars (200/1)

The market could reveal plenty but CONMAN JOHN appeals as a promising hurdling recruit so is taken to go in at the chief expense of penalised Irish raider Dramatic License. Other newcomers Great Fleet and Timefortom could also have a say along with the returning Kelvin Forlonge who should be suited by this step up in trip.
