Forecasts

Perfect Gentleman (7/2), Double Down (9/2), Larrsen (11/2), Clarko's Back (13/2), Mr Boson (17/2), Papal Music (10/1), Congruent (11/1), Kimnkate (12/1), Puzzletown (12/1), Enborne (16/1), Golden Phase (33/1), Congresbury (33/1)

LARRSEN was well backed and scored readily at Bath recently, so he's fancied to go in again. Perfect Gentleman is 2 from 2 over C&D and looks a big threat, while Double Down should give his running once more.
