Forecasts

Sir Gino (2/5), The New Lion (9/4), Nemean Lion (18/1), Brentford Hope (50/1)

Verdict

A fascinating clash between a pair of top-class prospects in SIR GINO and The New Lion. The former made a highly impressive comeback in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton and is fancied to strengthen his position at the top of the Champion Hurdle betting.

  1. SIR GINO (FR)
  2. THE NEW LION
  3. NEMEAN LION (GER)
