Forecasts

Gibside (6/4), Bulldog Spirit (7/4), Gastronomy (5/2), King Of Unicorns (9/2), Michael's Pledge (13/2), Mythical (8/1), Gift Of Raaj (33/1), Sir Jock Bennett (150/1)

GIBSIDE has acquitted himself well in higher grades in recent weeks and can resume winning ways back in a Class 5 for the first time since his Catterick success. The drop back to 1¾m could prove ideal for Bulldog Spirit who is second choice ahead of Phil Kirby's Gastronomy.
