Forecasts

Comfort Zone (4/5), Ghasham (4/1), Navajo Warrior (6/1), Westernesse (8/1), Sussex (12/1), Fanore (20/1), Fair Joe (28/1), Smooth Tom (33/1), Inchturk (40/1), Thousand (40/1), Alooqaal (50/1), Imnotyourdrummer (150/1), Gold Lunula (300/1)

There's not much to split the Joseph O'Brien pair GHASHAM and Comfort Zone on what they have achieved so far and the market should point the way, but as things stand the former gets the nod with greater improvement likely after only one run. Navajo Warrior and Westernesse are interesting newcomers to also watch out for in the market.
