Forecasts

Master Fuego (3/1), Golden Peace (3/1), Marauding Horde (9/2), Bristol Hercules (7/1), Down By The River (15/2), Ancient World (8/1), Lucky Miss (9/1), Last One Standing (12/1), Quantifier (16/1), Pascali (22/1), Mountainsofthemoon (25/1), Every Cloud (25/1), Ninety Nine Heros (28/1), African Dusk (33/1)

MARAUDING HORDE was the beaten market pick on his most recent run, but is worth keeping onside. Lucky Miss seems the most likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Master Fuego is another with place prospects too.
