Forecasts

Gaassee (8/15), Serena's Symphony (16/5), Mind Hunter (9/2), Hiding Dave (40/1), Noahthirtytwored (50/1), Barrister Blaster (66/1), Stepaside Boy (100/1)

GAASSEE made a promising debut at Lingfield 11 days ago and should have learnt plenty from that initial experience. He can open his account, with Mind Hunter and newcomer Serena's Symphony the chief threats.
