Forecasts

Existent (10/11), Rhythm N Hooves (11/2), Almaty Star (7/1), Dashing Harry (15/2), Mon Na Slieve (8/1), G'day Mate (12/1), Ormolulu (12/1), Juicy (22/1)

G'DAY MATE made a promising return from 5 months off at Lingfield and could be set for a big run if building on that back over 5f. Rhythm N Hooves and the even-more frustrating Existent are a couple of the dangers.
