Forecasts

May Call You Back (5/4), Surviving Murmansk (4/1), Theanniversary Man (7/1), Menas Miracle (7/1), Met Office (10/1), Arthur's Victory (12/1), Agent Tequila (12/1), Miss Maxfort (14/1), Gekkota (16/1), Eastmore (16/1), Benzine (20/1), Maralinga (20/1), Cholo (40/1), Lucky This Time (40/1), Glorious Singer (66/1)

MAY CALL YOU BACK has really thrived since joining Willie Mullins and is unlikely to be inconvenienced by the return to hurdling here. She can resume winning ways. Surviving Murmansk and Menas Miracle are feared most.
