Forecasts
Lulamba (2/5), Lump Sum (6/1), Be Aware (8/1), Alnilam (8/1)
LULAMBA was much the best of these over timber and made a sound start in this discipline at Exeter last month. There should be plenty more to come and he is clearly the one to beat. Be Aware upped his game when second at Cheltenham and gets the forecast vote.
