Forecasts

Goshen (11/5), Guard Your Dreams (11/5), Song For Someone (5/2), Hunters Call (10/1), Global Citizen (14/1)

Verdict

None of these can be safely ruled out in this high-quality listed contest, but SONG FOR SOMEONE seems rejuvenated by breathing surgery and can open his account for the season after two excellent second placings in Grade 2 company. C&D scorer Goshen rates a big threat though on the back of his encouraging Lingfield third, with the reliable Guard Your Dreams not discounted either.

  1. SONG FOR SOMEONE (GER)
  2. GOSHEN (FR)
  3. GUARD YOUR DREAMS
