Forecasts

Ceallach (1/1), Cozone (11/2), Palace Rock (15/2), Dalvey (9/1), No Say Ever (9/1), Seattle Creek (10/1), Cursory Exam (12/1), Bowerman (25/1), Kingswear (25/1), Vischio (40/1)

CEALLACH is going the right way and scored with something to spare despite taking quite a wide trip over C&D 3 weeks ago, so he's fancied to follow up at the possible expense of Dalvey, Cursory Exam is also respected.
