Forecasts

Hul Ah Bah Loo (2/1), Capallcliste (5/2), Comedian Leader (7/2), Poles Apart (4/1), Neptune Legend (5/1), Kodi Noir (9/1), Guildford (11/1), Lynwood Lad (33/1), Darcy's Rock (80/1), Tilsworth Max (100/1)

CAPALLCLISTE has been knocking pretty loudly on the door in C&D handicaps for this rider and the drop to classified company may enable him to shed his maiden status. Poles Apart and Guildford are a couple of potential threats given they are unexposed 3-y-os.
