Forecasts

Bournemouth (13/8), Atkinson Grimshaw (11/4), El Romiachi (4/1), Que Shiraz (7/1), Dawn Of A New Era (7/1), Then In Focus (8/1), Irish Rain (17/2), Waiting For Summer (12/1), Ancestral Prayer (18/1), Homer Fidget (20/1), Dammi (28/1), Humble Tune (40/1)

EL ROMIACHI looks the one to be with, but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Then In Focus is a solid alternative, while Humble Tune also needs a closer look.
