Forecasts

Zealot (11/8), Obsidian Knight (7/4), Dream Harder (6/1), Melek Alreeh (15/2), Titian (17/2), Oh Herberts Reign (12/1), Freak Out (28/1)

ZEALOT showed a good attitude when scoring over C&D last time and he's fancied to follow up. Most of the others can have a case made for them, with Titian and Dream Harder appealing as the main dangers.
