Forecasts

King Alexander (10/3), Maclaine (5/1), Everything'sontick (6/1), Spring Meadow (13/2), Gardener (13/2), The Plimsoll Line (15/2), Artistic Choice (17/2), Bucko's Boy (9/1), Bashful Boy (11/1), The Grey Falco (22/1), Doctor Parnassus (28/1), Fat Sam (33/1), Floating Rock (66/1), Let's Have Another (150/1)

The vote goes to GARDENER, who failed to measure up to market expectations when only fourth on his hadicap debut at Hereford but is well worth another chance on account of the promise he showed prior to that. Maclaine got back on track when placed at Exeter and he looks dangerous, while King Alexander is also accorded respect.
