Forecasts

Macanudo (11/4), Desert Master (11/4), Loaded Gun (4/1), Lightning Point (9/2), Moyet (8/1), Si Si Senor (17/2), Dark Fandango (16/1), Mehigburn (50/1), Darkest Mile (200/1)

MACANUDO failed to meet expectations at Windsor but he's not yet the finished article and can find the required improvement to beat Loaded Gun and Desert Master.
