Forecasts

Mizen Master (5/2), Gavlar (3/1), Arietta (4/1), Hugoigo (11/2), Star Of Athena (11/1), Uncle Bernie (20/1), Yasir (20/1), Looking For Carl (25/1), Ocean Reach (28/1), Amanto (33/1), Dolphin Village (33/1), Scrafton (50/1), American Craftsman (66/1)

HUGOIGO proved at least as good as ever when a close second at Ayr recently and the return to further will be in his favour. He gets the vote over Mizen Master and Arietta, who were first and second over this C&D last month.
