Forecasts

Storm Commander (7/2), Downing Seven (4/1), Matsuyamo (4/1), Painite (15/2), Launch Code (15/2), Euphoric (17/2), Juan Carlos (17/2), Question Master (16/1), El Romiachi (18/1), Magical Midlands (22/1), Jacob's Ladder (25/1), Irish Rain (28/1), Indy View (28/1)

Verdict

JUAN CARLOS' recent efforts have been likeable in general and he is just about the pick in this line up. Matsuyamo will probably give the selection most to think about, while Irish Rain also comes into the reckoning.
