Forecasts
Calgary Tiger (13/8), Gallic Geordie (13/8), Yes Indeed (4/1), Stepney Causeway (9/1)
GALLIC GEORDIE confirmed himself still very much of interest from this sort of mark when going down only to a completely unexposed sort over C&D in December and he looks sure to go well again. Yes Indeed shapes like he's more than capable of defying this sort of mark when putting his best foot forward and, following wind surgery, he could well emerge as the chief threat dropped back in trip.
