Forecasts

Taskheer (11/4), Lammas (4/1), Gypsy Whisper (4/1), Straitouttacompton (7/1), Hector's Here (8/1), Harbour Vision (9/1), War Defender (16/1), Cityzen Serg (20/1), Crackling (40/1), Love Destiny (40/1), Piselli Molli (50/1), Wrath Of Hector (66/1)

LAMMAS only made his debut in January and ran right up to form when second at Wolverhampton in the summer. He's been off the track since but unlike most of these is not yet exposed and he's an appealing candidate with a good claimer booked. Hector's Here arrives in top form and is feared most, ahead of Harbour Vision.
