Forecasts

Sir Gerhard (1/6), Largy Debut (4/1), Indiana Jones (10/1), Battle Of Mirbat (28/1), Natural Ability (100/1)

SIR GERHARD might not have been quite on his game when last seen but he was a class act over hurdles and could be even better in this sphere, so he's more than likely to make a successful chasing debut. Largy Debut is a threat if back to form and Indiana Jones isn't one to dismiss.
