Forecasts

Artic Mann (4/1), Clovis Boy (4/1), Aazza (11/2), Gypsey's Secret (6/1), Lahardaun (10/1), Bowler Jack (10/1), Sanosuke (11/1), Dequall (11/1), Better Be Definite (12/1), Bollin Matilda (12/1), Howzat Hiris (16/1), Grosvenor Court (18/1), Rowdy Rustler (18/1), Ebendi (28/1), Toombridge (28/1), Iturgeon Du Breuil (50/1), Hell On Earth (200/1)

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest and GYPSEY'S SECRET looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better than over C&D recently and gain her breakthrough success. Aazza is proving a reliable sort and can have a say too off an easing mark, with Arctic Mann, Clovis Boy and Bowler Jack all not discounted either.
