Forecasts

Gamain (11/4), Bellaney Knight (7/2), Beyondtemptation (9/2), Island Heights (13/2), Landecker (7/1), Total Assets (8/1), Grand Enterprise (9/1), Native Optimist (11/1), Classical Milano (18/1)

Towards the end of last season TOTAL ASSETS was very much on an upward curve and if she can pick up where she left off here she has every chance of winning again. It would be foolish to dismiss course specialist Beyondtemptation here although there are doubts over this longer trip. Bellaney Knight is one who looks on a workable mark to start this season and is respected also.
