Forecasts

Gatecrasher Girl (5/2), Galileo Glass (5/1), Tarbaan (11/2), Pangloss (8/1), Augmentarium (9/1), Aguaplano (10/1), Lucia Joy (10/1), Cephalus (16/1), Forgivable (16/1), Sharp Distinction (18/1)

GATECRASHER GIRL made it 2 from 2 in handicaps this season with more in hand than the margin suggests at Wolverhampton last month and looks up to completing the hat-trick. Tarbaan may still have more to offer after showing much-improved form to make a winning handicap debut at Newmarket so rates the main threat ahead of the returning Augmentarium.
