Forecasts

Psyche (9/2), Captain Haddock (5/1), French Martini (9/1), Angelica K (9/1), Hurtle (9/1), Harlington (10/1), Gearing's Point (10/1), Sea Of Charm (10/1), Mrs Meader (11/1), Bascinet (18/1), Parikarma (20/1), Penalty Shootout (20/1), Change Of Fortune (20/1), Breguet Boy (22/1)

GEARING'S POINT ran with credit without getting a clear run at things after 6 months off when fifth at Windsor 12 days ago and, operating from a handy mark, she could be the way to go. French Martini and Sea of Charm are a pair of fellow in-form sorts and feared. Psyche is another to keep an eye on in a tricky opener.
