Forecasts

Gonzaga (5/2), Divine Connection (3/1), One Step Beyond (16/5), Soldier's Son (6/1), All You Wish (7/1), Nezar (15/2), Clipsham Tiger (20/1), Where Next Jo (20/1), Don't Jump George (33/1)

GONZAGA has been knocking on the door all winter and he can finally gain a long overdue first career success here. Divine Connection won over C&D last month and has to be taken seriously off a 7 lb higher mark. One Step Beyond holds each-way claims too,
