Forecasts

Gentlemansgame (11/8), Unexpected Depth (9/4), Crosshill (11/4), Whirling Dervish (12/1), Column Of Fire (20/1), Blast Of Koeman (28/1)

CROSSHILL is lightly raced and boasts some good form so could be worth chancing back hurdling after a break. Unexpected Depth and Gentlemansgame are feared.
