Forecasts

Big Ginge (4/9), Milan Tino (9/2), Lock Stock (12/1), Poet Laureate (12/1), Wild Goose (14/1), Away For The Night (18/1), Hey Buddy (28/1), Can You Hear Me (28/1), Greedy Smith (40/1), Known Warrior (40/1), The Bluesmaster (125/1), Son Of Tyran (125/1), Little Wren (200/1), Virtuose D'ainay (200/1), Lovis De Sceaux (250/1)

BIG GINGE kept his form well without getting his head in front last term and is taken to make a successful return with his yard among the winners. Chris Gordon's hurdling debutant Poet Laureate appeals on paper and could emerge as the main danger, although Milan Tino has the form to play a part if fully tuned up after an absence. Greedy Smith and Lock Stock are other newcomers who command respect.
