Forecasts

Global Ally (5/2), Eyjafjallajokull (3/1), Alingalonga (9/2), Dawn Of A New Era (5/1), Dowser (6/1), Pedro (13/2), Slings And Arrows (10/1), Paris Rix (12/1), El Romiachi (14/1), Father's Frost (14/1), Adios Amigos (18/1)

EYJAFJALLAJOKULL looks marginally the pick of this bunch but has little room for error. Dowser would be our next pick, while Pedro commands a closer look as well.
