Forecasts

Great Hunter (8/13), Maywake (11/8), Forever's Lady (6/1), Patontheback (10/1), Fanzone (33/1), Storm Master (80/1), Mustavim (125/1), Miss Connaisseur (200/1), Barney Too (200/1)

GREAT HUNTER shaped with promise when third in a strong novice at Chelmsford on his recent debut, and with this shorter trip unlikely to inconvenience him judged on pedigree, he can get off the mark. Maywake was placed for a fourth start in a row over C&D last time and looks the obvious threat ahead of newcomer Patontheback.
