Forecasts

Yeeeaah (5/2), Martin's Brig (10/3), Helm Princess (7/2), Regal World (6/1), Hulton Ranger (10/1), Gurkhali Girl (11/1), Thakuri (12/1), Poetikel Piece (16/1), Milliemix (22/1)

REGAL WORLD has been knocking on the door in handicaps this season so she certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Yeeeaah is another who has shown he has it in him to go close off his mark. Unexposed handicap newcomer Helm Princess is one to keep an eye on in the market.
