Forecasts

Nobler (4/5), What's Your Game (5/1), Thebelmontgangster (13/2), I'll Be Handy (17/2), I Am Me (10/1), Ja'marr (11/1), Faro Island (33/1), Shakita (33/1), Simurgh (50/1), Fervent (100/1), No More Kisses (125/1), Navajo Point (150/1), Plunder (200/1), Drucker (200/1)

NOBLER has made a very good start, finding just a subsequent listed winner too strong at Listowel last time, and he can open his account here. Thebelmontgangster is feared most ahead of I Am Me.
