Forecasts

Shadow Seven (11/4), Marine One (3/1), Too Precious (7/2), Political Policy (4/1), All's Quiet (7/1), Eshtiaal (25/1), Ashqar (28/1), Fern Owl (33/1)

The Joseph O'Brien pair of Shadow Seven and TOO PRECIOUS look to be the ones to be with here, with the latter taken to continue her improvement stepping up in trip. Gavin Cromwells, Political Party, the improving Marine One and the returning, Eshtiaal are worthy of consideration here.
