Forecasts

Yagood (9/4), Our New Buddy (9/2), Gentleman At Arms (6/1), Kalma (15/2), Koi Dodville (10/1), Bailarico (10/1), Jackamundo (12/1), Socially Shady (12/1), Far Too Beautiful (22/1), Glan Y Gors (28/1), Neverbeen To Paris (50/1)

YAGOOD is clearly thriving at present and hasn't been hit too hard by the handicapper for his latest success. He can score again. Bailarico and Koi Dodville are feared most.
