Forecasts

Mr Trevor (7/2), Cometh The Man (7/2), Ginato (7/1), Oh So Hot (7/1), Miss Bella Brand (15/2), Albegone (9/1), Blazing Son (14/1), Ireland's Eye (14/1), Keepherlit (16/1), Miss Trixie (16/1), Desert Cat (33/1), Lady Artela (80/1), Suntory Star (80/1)

GINATO scored here in July and still looked in top form (didn't get a clear run) at Thirsk last time, so he gets the narrow vote ahead of Oh So Hot, who could be dangerous if he grabs the lead and the rail. Last-time-out winner Mr Trevor also enters the equation.
