Forecasts

Truckers Pass (7/4), Do Your Job (9/4), Jac Brown (7/2), Minella Beauty (7/1), Brooksway Fair (7/1), New Moon (33/1), Bucks Dream (50/1), Brief Acquaintance (66/1), Henri Morgan Parry (100/1), Barden Bella (150/1), Equus Leader (200/1), Ocean's Dream (300/1)

TRUCKERS PASS laid a solid platform for hurdling with a brace of runner-up efforts in bumpers last season and won't lack for fitness on reappearance representing Philip Hobbs. He is marginally preferred to Do Your Job, who showed plenty at Newbury in February, with Minella Beauty another open to progress.
