Forecasts

Khafaaq (6/4), Bringsty (11/4), Qasbaz (13/2), Notforalongtime (7/1), Jabbar (8/1), Hurricane Helen (12/1), Miss Vizeun (12/1), Ghumama (16/1), Starlight Rose (33/1), Gormanston (40/1), Pastel Power (66/1), Csarina (125/1)

NOTFORALONGTIME ran with credit when second in a claimer last time and he's on a potentially good mark, so he's marginally preferred to Khafaaq, who scored with something to spare at Cork recently. Bringsty is another one to consider.
