Forecasts

Gustave Aitch (2/1), Freewheelin (7/2), Dancing Master (4/1), Beach Break (6/1), Metal Man (13/2), New Delhi Express (7/1), Denable (17/2), The Resdev Way (16/1), Wemyss Point (25/1), Robeam (33/1), Cuillin (50/1), Ulysses (80/1)

GUSTAVE AITCH is a long-standing maiden but he has shaped with promise on a couple of occasions this term and having joined a good yard, he may well exploit this lowly mark. Beach Break and Freewheelin head the opposition.
