Forecasts

Trois Trois Quatre (11/4), Mocha Frappe (3/1), Pocket Watch (3/1), Celtic Rush (9/2), Weather Wizard (9/2), Claw (17/2), Leao Alado (9/1), Circle Of Grace (11/1), Blackberry Breeze (14/1)

TROIS TROIS QUATRE looks to have more or less the best credentials but can't afford for much to go wrong. Mocha Frappe seems the principal danger, while Leao Alado is another that merits respect.
