Forecasts

Triple Venture (11/4), Lake Causeway (5/1), Master Sergeant (6/1), Madkhal (13/2), Hyde Park (13/2), Yukon Star (15/2), Ranaan (8/1), Beluga Gold (10/1), Davy Lamp (14/1), Shamran (16/1), Klimt Street (16/1), Zhou Storm (22/1), Alla Mahlak (28/1)

TRIPLE VENTURE looks marginally the best of these but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Madkhal can chase the selection home, while Ranaan is another to bear in mind.
