Forecasts

Gatehouse (4/5), New Bay Star (3/1), Hot To Hot (13/2), Turku (9/1), Norcross Brow (14/1), Cold Fish (25/1), Queen Of Astolat (33/1), Mohaab (40/1)

GATEHOUSE showed plenty when second at Lingfield 9 days ago, pulling clear of the rest, and is fancied to go one better. New Bay Star had excuses at Redcar and his previous third at Bath gives him every chance, while Norcross Brow left his debut well behind when second at Pontefract, shaping as if he'll stay this far.
