Forecasts

Anna Capri (4/1), Godswood (9/2), Bold Ransom (6/1), Successful Secret (6/1), Kwite A Trip (13/2), Invidia (9/1), Captain Oupie (9/1), Captain Morisco (10/1), Lucy English (10/1), Bard Of Avon (11/1), Spanish Boy (12/1), Vaseem (16/1)

GODSWOOD is operating at a good level lately and just about gets the nod in this field. Kwite A Trip likely poses the biggest threat, while Anna Capri is another to bear in mind.
