Forecasts

Kumemori (11/8), Helsinki (10/3), Future Saint (4/1), Sir William (17/2), Mo King (14/1), Madison Valley (18/1), Lightning Jimmy (20/1), Roy's Ruffian (22/1), Obadiah (22/1), Allrite (25/1), Lucky Murphy (25/1), Teriyaki (25/1), Russian Writer (33/1)

KUMEMORI looks to have been found a very good opening. Helsinki is another who could play a major part in proceedings, while Future Saint can win the battle for minor honours.
