Forecasts

Glimpse Of Gala (11/5), Fusionice (9/4), Glory And Honour (5/2), Red Maple (5/1), Generous Leader (13/2), On The Platform (11/1), Master Malachy (14/1), World Trip (16/1), Black Panther (20/1), Gms Prince (50/1)

Having been short of room, GLIMPSE OF GALA was strong at the finish starting out at Southwell a month ago, ultimately finishing third. That has to go down as a very promising debut, and with improvement forthcoming, she should take some stopping. It's taken a while for Fusionice to return to the track following a point win but he is still feared most.
