Forecasts

Imilenzeyokududuma (7/2), Silvano's Timer (5/1), Han Solo (11/2), Future Prince (13/2), Somerset Maugham (8/1), Airways Law (8/1), Warrior (12/1), Winchester Mansion (14/1), Chollima (16/1), Super Silvano (25/1), Baratheon (28/1), One Way Traffic (28/1), Cat Daddy (33/1), Nexus (40/1), Rockin' Ringo (40/1), Senso Unico (40/1)

FUTURE PRINCE is back to best now as latest effort showed and sets the bar high. Chollima will probably give the selection most to think about, while Somerset Maugham is perhaps the most interesting of those left.
