Forecasts

Mr Caplan (10/11), Gordon's Jet (15/8), Rattle Owl (9/2), Voice Of Hope (12/1), Stone Picker (66/1), Sir Chester (125/1), Filou D'Anjou (250/1), Hoorayforhannah (250/1), Big Bold Gold (250/1)

MR CAPLAN is going the right way and is selected to double his tally with further improvement on the cards. Rattle Owl has been off since May but can give another good account, with Voice of Hope and Gordon's Jet also worthy of consideration.
