Forecasts

Totnes (5/4), Wild Hurricane (5/1), Yeoman (5/1), Tarbaan (11/2), Wadacre Gomez (9/1), Noodle Mission (10/1), Boasty (12/1), Semser (12/1), Miss Bluebelle (12/1), Mayfair Gold (18/1), Nasim (18/1), Marion's Boy (28/1), One For The Frog (33/1), The Bay Warrior (40/1), Jenson Benson (50/1)

TARBAAN looks interesting back on AW having dipped to 2 lb lower than when successful over C&D in December. 3-y-o Totnes heads the dangers ahead of Godolphin's Wild Hurricane in a competitive race for the grade.
