Forecasts

Hoodie Hoo (5/6), Topwarrior (9/4), Blue Rc (7/2), Dream Out Loud (5/1), Nordic Games (40/1), Crimson Flo (66/1), I Was Thinking (150/1)

HOODIE HOO showed plenty when a close third at Windsor in the summer and sets a clear standard. Dream Out Loud was unable to land a gamble at Southwell on debut but still offered something to work on, while Topwarrior and Blue Rc are a couple of interesting newcomers.
