Forecasts

War Chant (13/8), Brabusach (5/1), Milvus (5/1), Rubellite (5/1), Lucidity (13/2), Profitar Rules (10/1), Goblet Of Fire (12/1), Haaf A Diamond (16/1), Ocean Ridge (28/1), Ella's Angel (150/1)

Preference is for WAR CHANT who has acquitted himself well in recent starts and remains feasibly treated. Rubellite and Lucidity head the list of dangers.
