Forecasts

Taneen (5/2), Rich And Famous (11/4), Bottle Rocket Man (5/1), Quiet Endeavour (8/1), Cosmo Kramer (10/1), Ranaan (11/1), Way of Wisdom (12/1), Tabarak (16/1), Dangerous Thought (20/1), Daily Bulletin (66/1)

A chance is taken on low-mileage BOTTLE ROCKET MAN being ready to roll at first asking for his new stable. Rich And Famous rates the main threat, while Taneen commands a closer look as well.
