Forecasts

Jackpot Cash (7/2), John Barbour (9/2), The Long Walk (9/2), As Legends Have It (11/2), Taras Halls (7/1), Ilitch (9/1), Book Of Tales (10/1), Streamsforth Lad (16/1), Harper Valley (18/1), Shengai Enki (22/1), Swift Jet (50/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but Ben Pauling's AS LEGENDS HAVE IT looks to have got in quite lightly for his first venture into handicap company so earns the vote from James Owen's thriving Jackpot Cash who rates a big danger. Returning duo The Long Walk an Ilitch both look to have more to offer too and can also have a say in this cracking handicap. Harper Valley completes the shortlist.

  1. AS LEGENDS HAVE IT
  2. JACKPOT CASH (FR)
  3. THE LONG WALK (IRE)
