Forecasts

Dear My Friend (6/5), Sol Cayo (5/2), Highfield Viking (13/2), Tremendous Times (8/1), Blue Yonder (12/1), Have Secret (28/1), My Honey B (28/1), Ribkana (28/1), Jinxster (33/1), Golden Alba (150/1)

DEAR MY FRIEND has a penalty for his debut success, but he did really well to overcome inexperience that day, and is bound to do better, particularly with the longer trip a positive. Sol Cayo was only just behind the selection on that occasion and improved again, but he has less scope for further progress. Blue Yonder and Highfield Viking are the interesting newcomers.
