Forecasts

Wholeofthemoon (2/1), Euraquilo (9/2), Bugle Major (9/2), God Of Thunder (7/1), Admodum (8/1), Tahasun (12/1), Baby Steps (14/1), Chateau D'if (14/1), Fifteenthamendment (14/1), Gargle (18/1), Semser (20/1), Due A Rum (22/1), Naasma (33/1), Codswallop (40/1)

WHOLEMOON returns to action off a decent mark and is still low mileage. He gets the nod. Gargle and God of Thunder head the list of dangers.
