Forecasts

A Gift Of Love (5/2), Shadow Of War (3/1), Klimova (7/1), Major Major (17/2), Logistical (17/2), Commandeer (12/1), Muir Wood (14/1), Alumnus (14/1), Empress Wu (16/1), Silver Sword (22/1), Sierra Vista (33/1), Trooper Bisdee (66/1), Star Of Sussex (125/1), Calleveryoneuknow (150/1)

Those with form set an ordinary standard so this looks ripe for a newcomer and A GIFT OF LOVE, who makes plenty of appeal on paper for the Gosdens, could well be up to the task. Empress Wu and Shadow of War are a couple of other debutants to keep a close eye on in the betting.
