Forecasts

Dawn Of A New Era (3/1), Bey Suyay (9/2), Admiral Dooley (11/2), Waqaas (13/2), Castle Corner (13/2), Evening Primrose (15/2), Top Wesselton (12/1), Ntabazondi (14/1), Humble Tune (14/1), In Cahoots (16/1), Dual At Dawn (20/1), Romeo's Magic (25/1), Ushuaia (25/1), Starrywinternight (28/1), Baymax (33/1)

DAWN OF A NEW ERA has been running creditably of late and is just about the pick in this line up. Bey Suyay is top of the dangers, while Romeo's Magic should go well too.
