Forecasts

Deodar (1/12), Kitaab (12/1), Armo (16/1), Gabriella's Spirit (22/1), He's So Brazen (25/1), Clapham Sect (25/1), Locomotive Breth (33/1), Selene's Dream (50/1), Hoots Toots (66/1)

This will surely prove a straightforward task for DEODAR who was runner-up in a C&D listed race when last seen in October. Kitaab may follow him home ahead of Armo.
