Forecasts

Gregor Macgregor (7/4), Call Me Master (4/1), Waqaas (9/2), Oyster King (9/2), Stanley (8/1), Paschals Samore (11/1), We've Got Tonight (12/1), Rattle Bag (14/1), Silly Fella (22/1), Follow My Path (28/1), Ashanti Sword (28/1)

GREGOR MACGREGOR's recent starts have had a lot to like about them and he is probably the one to beat. Waqaas can't hope for much better than second, while Stanley should go well too.
