Forecasts

Tanseeq (16/5), Martineo (7/2), Gatwick Kitten (13/2), Romanovich (15/2), Gonzaga (15/2), Closeness (10/1), Sirius White (12/1), Macon Belle (12/1), Won Love (14/1), Cheese The One (28/1), Dodgy Bob (40/1), Wooders Dream (40/1)

Low-grade fare and MARTINEO could be the way to go having run well in a similar event at Southwell last time. He gets blinkers late in the day and wouldn't need to improve much on that effort to resume winning ways. Gatwick Kitten is respected on a rare go over 7f, while Won Love can also figure.
