Forecasts

Shajak (2/1), My Mate Mozzie (9/4), Explorers Way (9/4), Magellan Strait (9/1), Periscopic (11/1), Valleyoftheeagles (33/1), Sean Says (66/1), Oranmore (66/1), Croughmore (80/1), Shakespeare's Word (100/1), David's Lad (200/1)

EXPLORERS WAY is the marginal form pick and has the scope to do better up in trip this year, so he's preferred to My Mate Mozzie. The selection's stablemate, Magellan Strait, is the pick of the newcomers.
