Forecasts

Galileo Sand (2/1), Ballysax Hank (11/4), Seo Linn (11/4), Master Sydney (7/1), Prove Yourself (11/1), Minella Hollow (11/1), Fil Dor (14/1), Putapoundinthejar (18/1), Nelson Muntz (40/1), Ballerina Boxer (150/1), Navy Waves (150/1), Single Edition (150/1), Thunder Gatti (200/1)

Not the easiest maiden to assess but the vote goes to BALLYSAX HANK who comes here on the back of a useful success over fences at Market Rasen and can make a belated winning start in this sphere now. Gordon Elliott's smart chaser Fil Dor also enters calculations back on the Flat, while bumper scorers Galileo Sand and Seo Linn need considering too.
