Forecasts

Winner Takes Itall (15/8), Dundory (3/1), Punk Poet (10/3), Adnap (15/2), Memyselfandmoi (10/1), Next In Line (20/1), Innamorare (25/1), Eloy D'amerval (40/1), Alhajjaj (66/1)

This can go to ADNAP, who goes well here and looked ready for another crack at this longer trip when staying on late last time. Dundory and Punk Poet should also make their presence felt.
