Forecasts

Ask D'Man (13/8), Global Assembly (5/2), Keep Me Posted (3/1), Grange Island (13/2), Dromleigh (14/1)

With race-fitness on his side GLOBAL ASSEMBLY is preferred to stablemate Ask D'Man, who has a long absence to overcome having won one of the Championship contests at Stratford when last seen 17 months ago.
