Forecasts

So I Told You (1/1), Hamley (5/1), Blue Shadow (11/2), Insignia Of Rank (6/1), Dedillon (7/1), Gee Rex (17/2), Maricruz (10/1), Sod's Law (12/1), Approach The City (20/1), Wee Jim (33/1), Anglo Saxson (40/1)

SO I TOLD YOU showed improved form when making a winning debut for this yard over this C&D on return 16 days ago and may have more to offer still. Hamley finished half-a-length behind the selection that day and is feared again now 3 lb better off, while Insignia of Rank is becoming well handicapped.
