Forecasts

Casanova (4/5), Jabalaly (9/2), Astrologer (5/1), Pamper (9/1), Moll Davis (12/1), Grab And Run (16/1), Lyrical Ballad (33/1), Basildon (33/1), Hard Knock Life (50/1), Martha Mcewan (100/1), Ateescomponent (100/1), Alisia R (100/1)

John Gosden sends just the sole representative to Beverley this afternoon, with Rab Havlin in the plate aboard the Frankel colt CASANOVA who rates as a strong contender off the back of a most promising turf debut at Epsom three-weeks ago. He has most to fear from the Ed Dunlop-trained Jabalaly who shaped like a future winner in a 7f Doncaster maiden recently (form which has been franked since by Destination). Of the remainder Lyrical Ballad and Moll Davis appear likeliest for the more minor honours.
