Forecasts

Fall Of Rome (10/3), Golden Arch (9/2), Tolmount (11/2), Al Maysan (13/2), Miami Joy (8/1), The Magical Mccool (17/2), Private Signal (14/1), Coast Sky (18/1), Melicertes (20/1), Maputo (20/1), Shake Hand (20/1), Kaifan (20/1), Capla Crusader (22/1), Maqtal (33/1)

AL MAYSAN takes a drop in grade and is the tentative selection in a trappy finale. Tolmount is another who could have a big say in matters, while Miami Joy can make his presence felt.
