Forecasts

Capetown Affair (9/4), Waqaas (11/4), Atomic Blonde (3/1), After Hours (5/1), My Kingdom (6/1), Dragon Queen (15/2), Theroseofbecharre (12/1), Procrastinator (14/1), Bangor Night (40/1)

CAPETOWN AFFAIR has been running creditably of late and should give backers a decent run for their money. Theroseofbecharre is most likely the main danger, while Waqaas also looks good for a place.
