Forecasts

Chartwell House (10/11), Opera Legend (7/2), Ghassan (5/1), He's A Monster (15/2), Never Left (25/1), Orchestra (28/1), Limelight (28/1), States Of Thunder (33/1), Billaki Mou (33/1), True Legend (80/1), Double Down (200/1)

CHARTWELL HOUSE got off the mark at Epsom last time despite seeming a little ill at ease on the track, so he can build on that effort to follow up under a penalty. The main danger could be Ghassan, who wasn't beaten far at Sandown on debut and the form of that Sunday Series maiden has been working out well. Opera Legend is also respected on his first start.
