Forecasts

Gentle Look (5/4), Skymax (11/4), Themaxwecan (6/1), Craster (7/1), Anyonecanhaveitall (14/1), Prince Of Harts (20/1), Salam Zayed (25/1), Duke Of Dunabar (33/1), Delta Bravo (66/1), Fitwood Star (66/1), Grandee Daisy (100/1), Zalmi Force (100/1), Judy Be Careful (100/1)

GENTLE LOOK represents top connections and having run well on his two starts to date he is taken to break his maiden stepping up in distance. Skymax should appreciate the step up in trip and he showed good form last time out while debutant Themaxwecan is taken to claim third under Silvestre De Sousa.
