Forecasts

Transparent (4/6), Bozeman (3/1), Golden Thorn (9/1), Bouboule (10/1), Vocal Legend (14/1), Cavolo Nero (14/1), Private Island (18/1), Easily Convinced (22/1), Garibaldi Memory (200/1), Highland Rose (200/1), Lovely Jubly (250/1), Iflookscouldkill (250/1), Arctic Mission (300/1), Bear Baby (300/1)

TRANSPARENT looks the one after his promising debut over C&D in the autumn. Ralph Beckett newcomer Bozeman would be a potential big threat if the betting speaks for him. Vocal Legend and Golden Thorn showed enough last time to suggest they should be on the premises.
