Forecasts

Moya Wa Laliga (11/4), Midnight Badger (7/2), No Time Is Taken (4/1), Written In Stone (15/2), Run April Run (15/2), In Cahoots (8/1), Epic Dream (17/2), Jet Cat (10/1), Kotinos (10/1), Desert Pride (20/1), Ice Eater (25/1)

MIDNIGHT BADGER is running well enough to take this but will need to be on song. Moya Wa Laliga makes most appeal of the rest, while Run April Run deserves some consideration as well.
