Forecasts

Guilin (8/13), Hesperantha (7/2), Arwaag (7/1), Twilight Steel (17/2), Double Dare You (16/1), Stevenson (18/1), Rockade (28/1), Dwyfran (50/1), Imagemaker (50/1), Indian Pearl (66/1), Safe Passage (66/1), Oxygen Thief (150/1), Lanfear (200/1), Paolo Panini (200/1)

Not a strong maiden and GUILIN looks the way to go after a promising start in a messy contest at Southwell recently. He was very well backed on that occasion and should get the chance to show plenty more here. Archie Watson won a division of this last year with a well-backed newcomer and his Arwaag is of obvious interest. Hesperantha is also one to note second time up.
