Forecasts

Sorrentino (4/6), Fatal Flaw (7/1), Gers Gigi (7/1), Kate Knows Best (11/1), Lynchy Boy (14/1), Serious Chat (16/1), Rumour Mill (16/1), Torquay Road (18/1), The Gray Ghost (25/1), He's Gorgeous (25/1), Parga Diamond (40/1), Dream Shaper (80/1), Fightin Side Of Me (80/1), Skid Row Joe (80/1), Seskin Flash (100/1), Times A Wastin (100/1), Oh So Rio (150/1)

GERS GIGI is a half-sister to a bumper winner and represents a top yard, so she's worth chancing to make a winning start for all that Sorrentino is a big player 12 months on from unseating (when sent off a short price) on debut. The Gray Ghost also has something to recommend him on pedigree.
