Forecasts

Mart (3/1), Emperor's Son (9/2), General Assembly (5/1), Heaven Knows (11/2), Speed Of Maajid (6/1), Level Up (15/2), Mick's Spirit (9/1), Spendmore Lane (16/1), Desdemona (80/1)

On the back of a decisive C&D success a fortnight ago, GENERAL ASSEMBLY looks capable of going in again off this 7 lb higher mark. Mart is officially 2 lb 'well in' after finding just one too good at Lingfield and he is feared most ahead of Mick's Spirit, who was a ready winner at that course when last seen in September.
