Forecasts

Rulership (5/4), Sheldon (5/2), Captain Hindsight (7/2), Mover And Shaker (4/1), Danilo Danilovitch (8/1), Gobsmacked (8/1), Rollwiththepunches (14/1), Karangetang (22/1), Magic Tattoo (25/1)

RULERSHIP is in a good vein of form and should make a bold show. Magic Tattoo shouldn't be underestimated, while Mover And Shaker is one to bear in mind too.
