Forecasts

Sir Winston (6/5), Aasser (15/8), Applaud Now (7/1), Checkandchallenge (11/1), Manaslu (14/1), Benjamin Bear (28/1), Total Lockdown (40/1), Mickey Free (40/1), Gun Dog (150/1), Sirius White (200/1), Golden Shot (250/1)

SIR WINSTON stepped up considerably on his debut effort when runner-up at Newcastle 13 days ago and is plainly the one to beat on that piece of form, especially with the prospect of more to come. Aasser is an obvious threat following a promising start to his career over this C&D, though Applaud Now should have learnt plenty from his initial outing at Newmarket and is not taken lightly, either.
