Forecasts

Arabian Force (11/8), Gloriously Sassy (4/1), Hymnbook (11/2), Komodo Island (7/1), Andersen (11/1), Flag Of Love (14/1), Sir Wootton (14/1), Morning Angel (33/1), Wicklow Way (66/1), Mazza (80/1), Hidden Hero (300/1)

GLORIOUSLY SASSY stepped up on debut when third at Catterick and can improve again with this extra 1f promising to suit. He gets the vote over Andersen and Arabian Force, who both offered something to work on starting out.
