Forecasts

Luttrell Lad (1/1), I Am Maximus (11/10), Judicial Law (17/2), JPR One (12/1), Triple Trade (25/1), Muy Bien (66/1), Per Vino Veritas (80/1), Farceur De Maulne (80/1), Rubys Reward (100/1), Bees And Honey (100/1), Rock Of Star (125/1), Barbarian (200/1), Bolsover Bill (200/1), Master Mikey Dee (200/1), Happy Returns (200/1), King Of The Story (200/1), Lady Ironside (200/1)

LUTTRELL LAD was useful in bumpers and has made a promising start over hurdles, winning at Worcester before a good second in the Persian War at Chepstow despite pulling hard. The drop back in trip should suit at this stage and he shades the vote over I Am Maximus, who beat the now very smart hurdler My Drogo in a Cheltenham bumper 12 months ago. Judical Law looks best of the others.
