Forecasts

Teqany (13/8), Warranty (11/4), Retrospect (10/3), Dereham (5/1), Gavlar (10/1), Little Jessture (10/1), Arty Campbell (14/1)

Useful-hurdler TEQANY left the impression he should have finished closer over C&D last month, so he may be ready to strike. Warranty should remain competitive, while Retrospect is another to consider having eased a bit more in the weights.
