Forecasts

The Quiet Gent (4/9), Miss Yorkshire (11/4), Marajito (10/1), Kennedys Pass (10/1), Mister Invincible (11/1), Sharp Call (33/1), Angelic Bugler (40/1), Get Up Everybody (66/1), Hidden Hero (66/1), Willow Baby (100/1), Hyzenthlay Rah (300/1)

Not a strong novice and a good chance for THE QUIET GENT to follow up his December Kempton win before having his sights raised. There is more to come from Miss Yorkshire and she's a danger, while Kennedys Pass might be the pick of the 3 Yorkshire-trained newcomers.
