Forecasts

Lost Eden (1/1), Shamikh (11/4), Book Review (11/2), Pitcher's Point (16/1), Daramethos (18/1), Sanad Libya (18/1), New Comedy (22/1), Marshall Plan (25/1), Daneyan (66/1)

LOST EDEN built up a good record round here last season and should give his backers a run for their money if fully tuned up for reappearance. Book Review makes most appeal among the remainder on the back of his recent emphatic success, while Sanad Libya has a good shout of a share of the minor money.
