Forecasts

Psalm (11/8), Kinesiology (11/4), Bad Desire (4/1), Ozark Daze (7/1), Young Churchill (20/1), Military Alliance (20/1), Harmony Blues (40/1), Crypto Crash (66/1), Metamorpheus (150/1), Lashgar (200/1)

PSALM boasts a progressive profile and, having found one too good over C&D a fortnight ago, he's fancied to go one better at the possibloe expense of Bad Desire, who should be suited by the longer trip. Kinesiology is another one to consider.
