Forecasts

Gaelic Secret (9/4), Vitalline (5/2), Professor Galant (9/2), Upside Down (6/1), The Gloaming (17/2), True Contendor (14/1), Soberton (22/1)

PROFESSOR GALANT has been knocking on the door both at this venue and at Wolverhampton over the past months. He should be able to gain a first career success in a fairly uncompetitive event. The Gloaming has the potential to improve on handicap debut and looks to be the main danger. Gaelic Secret can't be ruled out either.
