Forecasts

Dance And Glance (5/2), Let It Rain (5/2), The Hardest Geezer (9/1), Walkadina (10/1), Norman Fletcher (11/1), Tashan (11/1), All In You (12/1), Non Stop (12/1), King William Rufus (16/1), King Ulanda (20/1), Parramount (22/1), He's A Latchico (25/1), Moab (33/1), Known Warrior (50/1), Peking Opera (66/1), Gower Spirit (66/1), Easter Icon (150/1)

An interesting race for the grade, with plenty of pace likely. The returning LET IT RAIN appeals most, his bumper/hurdle form has plenty of substance and he's likely to prove better than his opening mark. Dance and Glance has been shaping well in higher grades and will be suited by a greater emphasis on stamina here, while strong-travelling Walkadina can be seen to better effect in a big-field 2m handicap.
