Forecasts

Western General (1/3), Red Notice (7/1), Knowwhentoholdem (8/1), Bampton Star (8/1), Hammer Dan (33/1), Tout Paris (40/1), Bob Bank (50/1), Whynotnowroy (50/1), King Conker (50/1), Zufal (125/1), Sweet Saffron (125/1)

It's hard to look past WESTERN GENERAL, who upped his game when second at Taunton last month and likely has more to offer yet. Point-winner Red Notice may prove most dangerous on his NH debut, particularly if the market vibes are strong, whilst Knowwhentoholdem can also make his presence felt.
