Forecasts

Mojeyrr (1/1), Mr Kafoo (7/2), Dionysian (11/2), Almoreb (7/1), Taakeed (17/2), Many A Star (20/1), Ribhi (20/1), Al Hadeer (33/1), Miller's House (50/1), Jewel Genie Lamp (100/1)

MR KAFOO has had a consistent season and is the tentative selection. Almoreb generally gives his running and can chase the selection home from Dionysian.
