Forecasts

Mohatu (6/5), Mighty River (15/8), Tabaretta (7/2), Khal (14/1)

A promising quartet representing successful yards but MOHATU is the most persuasive option with his style of racing suggesting he will stay longer than his pedigree would suggest. Tabaretta isn't totally straightforward but he can remain a big factor at this level.
