Forecasts

Folcano (4/9), Lucky Tenner (3/1), Buck's Billionaire (10/3), Carrig Rock (7/1), Old Town Garde (14/1), Gad Macker (20/1), Nobookwork (25/1), Corey Lord (33/1), Gipsi Joe (40/1), Keep 'em Lit (66/1), Drumlee Brexit (125/1), Krabat (150/1), Where's Frankie (150/1), Trying My Best (200/1), Lorcan Lad (300/1)

FOLCANO is clearly going the right way and looked an unfortunate loser last time. He can make amends. Lucky Tenner and Buck's Billionaire rate the principal dangers.
