Forecasts

Preemptive Strike (7/4), Lou Lou The Legend (3/1), Ravens Sword (4/1), Quiz Master (11/2), Purple Powahouse (6/1), Word For Word (6/1), Walton Hall (10/1), Capetown Affair (10/1), Senor Garcia (12/1), We All Chomies (12/1), Get Carter (14/1), Hot Strike (25/1)

PREEMPTIVE STRIKE is in a good spell of form and should make a bold show. Walton Hall is another who could have a big say in proceedings, while Quiz Master also demands scrutiny.
