Forecasts

Follow Your Heart (7/4), West Way Never (5/2), Gaelic Secret (4/1), Ealand (11/1), Clieves Hills (12/1), My Sonny (14/1), Amazing Anna (20/1)

GAELIC SECRET made an encouraging start to his career when third at Catterick and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement forthcoming, though strong market support for newcomer Follow Your Heart would put a different slant on matters. West Way Never is also expected to build on her debut effort at York.
