Forecasts

Atlantic Sky (6/4), Al Muzn (10/3), Imprison (7/1), Dukedom (7/1), Kiaraad (8/1), Nomasee (9/1), Shanaghai City (10/1), Chief Scribe (12/1), Addicted To Chaos (14/1)

ATLANTIC SKY ran well to finish second here last time and is taken to go one better. Al Muzn looks the main threat, while Imprison also merits respect.
