Forecasts

Viking Glory (4/5), Art Gallery (11/5), Thunder Pants (5/1), Full Gas (17/2), Clonquest (16/1), Okiru (22/1), Raven's View (22/1), Diamond Aura (33/1), Vietnorm (33/1), Riddikulus (66/1)

ART GALLERY flopped when sent off favourite on debut in September but showed much more when runner-up at Wolverhampton a month ago, sticking to her task. That is comfortably the best form on offer so she can see off Viking Glory, who can step forward from his opening run, with Clonquest perhaps the pick of the newcomers.
