Forecasts

Masham Moor (9/4), Nine Elms (9/4), Voltaic (9/2), My Brother Mike (11/2), Viva Voce (8/1), Vitesse Du Son (16/1), Mudlahhim (25/1), Creek Harbour (40/1), Vision Clear (200/1)

Preference is for MASHAM MOOR, who came close at Newcastle last time and remains fairly treated. My Brother Mike and Viva Voce rate the principal dangers.
