Forecasts

Captain Gallagher (13/8), Proudly Yours (3/1), Besiege (5/1), Bamako (6/1), Sir Yoshi (14/1), Brosay (16/1), Eric Lock (20/1), Ink Sketch (28/1), Legendsoftheland (66/1)

The market can prove a good guide but Ger Lyons has his string in good nick so his Mehmas filly PROUDLY YOURS is fancied to go in at the first time of asking. Fellow newcomer Captain Gallagher could emerge as the main danger, with C&D third Besiege appealing most of those with previous experience.
