Forecasts

Taxiing (11/8), Black Smoke (2/1), Alghazaal (9/2), Typewritten (10/1), Implied (10/1), Alchemystique (12/1), Kingston Joy (12/1), Walk The Moon (14/1), On Cloud (33/1), Midnight Shimmer (80/1), Virtuoso (100/1)

TAXIING hasn't been with her new yard long and saw out the longer trip well when coming close at Chelmsford last week. She can go one better here. Alghazaal and Black Smoke rate the principal dangers.
