Forecasts

Hawkbill (4/5), Captain Wara (11/4), Thing Called Love (4/1), George Handel (15/2), Storm Ahead (20/1), King Rahul (20/1), In A Blue Moon (20/1), Knockemstiff (20/1), God Of Chaos (25/1), Captain Efficient (28/1), Rugger Lover (33/1), Mount Pilatus (40/1), Charge Ahead (40/1), Play With Fire (40/1), Just Nuisance (50/1), Taxhaven (50/1)

HAWKBILL is just about the pick in this line up and has leading claims. Captain Wara ought to go well too, while George Handel is another that merits respect.
