Forecasts

Ghathanfar (13/8), King Of Tonga (5/1), Langholm (11/2), So Grateful (15/2), Let's Go Hugo (10/1), Music Society (10/1), Resilience (12/1), Tantalus (18/1), Lezardrieux (28/1)

GATHANFAR ran a cracker to finish second over C&D last time and is worth a chance to go one better at the possible expense of course-regular Langholm, who reacted well to blinkers last time. Resilience is another player despite a four-month absence.
