Forecasts

Yanifer (6/4), Gosnay Gold (5/2), Katie's Kitten (15/2), Beastie Boy (10/1), Lexington Liberty (11/1), Almost An Angel (12/1), Hurricane Helen (18/1), Hellavapace (25/1), Bomb Squad (25/1), Batindi (25/1), Lunar Gold (33/1), Extracuricular (40/1), Sunline (50/1), Cubano (125/1)

GOSNAY GOLD arrives on the back of a very good second at Goodwood and looks the way to go here nudged up just 1 lb. Yanifer didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Chelmsford City last time and is feared most, although Hurricane Helen should have a say too if backing up his excellent recent fourth behind the selection at Goodwood.
