Forecasts

Riyami (11/8), Rockview Consort (9/4), Liberated Light (13/2), Eskimo Komet (14/1), Wrecking Ball Paul (18/1), Next Week (18/1), Razdan (22/1), Arabian King (25/1), Tudor City (25/1), Caulaincourt (28/1), Khadaash (33/1), Kottayam (40/1), Dark Voyager (100/1), Liquid Metric (200/1)

RIYAMI progressed again on AW when seeing off Rockview Consort over C&D last month and might be able to defy the handicapper again. John McConnell's reopposing 5-y-o may provide the chief threat again. Eskimo Komet and the returning Razdan also make the shortlist.
