Forecasts

Gold Bullion (1/1), Baxter Basics (5/1), Code Name Lise (11/2), Ted's Friend (7/1), Barnard Castle (7/1), Teddy The Knight (66/1), Doyens De Ante (100/1)

Clearly a race where the market will provide more clues but GOLD BULLION makes obvious paper appeal so he gets the nod. Ted's Friend and Code Name Lise are others who appeal as likely types for a race like this.
