Forecasts

Master Josh (5/2), Aussenkehr (11/4), Max The Otter (4/1), Rafiki (11/2), Kingdom Of Heaven (6/1), Furie Nocturne (7/1), Wyag (8/1), Carriacou (16/1), Sir William (25/1), Downing Seven (25/1), Caitlyns Boy (28/1), Granddaddy Purple (28/1), Gimme The Best (33/1)

MASTER JOSH was unable to cheer backers last time, but still appeals as the most obvious option. Rafiki is a viable alternative, while Furie Nocturne is another likely to be on the premises.
