Forecasts

Shoefella (10/3), Querari's Dream (4/1), Temperate Zone (5/1), Papa C (5/1), Jazz Festival (11/2), Quantifier (6/1), Every Cloud (10/1), Selukwe (12/1), Only A Poet (14/1), Lady Canton (16/1), Galaxy Explorer (22/1), Duke Of Oxford (28/1), Red Magician (33/1)

SHOEFELLA just about appeals most in this field but it's open. Galaxy Explorer appeals most among the rest, while Jazz Festival also demands scrutiny.
