Forecasts

Gunnerside (85/40), Refuge (10/3), Gleniffer (9/2), Star Citizen (15/2), My Thought (17/2), Quanah (9/1), Rockley Point (20/1), Hard Solution (33/1), Lord Of The Glen (40/1), Laoise (40/1), Guardia Svizzera (50/1), Angel Eyes (50/1), Popping Corks (80/1), De Latour (100/1), Oriental Relation (150/1)

REFUGE returned with an encouraging run last month and he's both consistent and versatile. He should take the beating in a fairly uncompetitive race. My Thought is unexposed and could take a big step forward on handicap debut. Quanah is a C&D winner who can't be discounted.
