Forecasts

Eastern Wind (7/2), Oriental Dancer (4/1), Beaumadier (9/2), Tai Sing Yeh (9/1), Mogwli (9/1), Morning Approach (10/1), Notforalongtime (10/1), Chestnutter (12/1), Below Deck (20/1), Macadam's Rock (20/1), Airgead (33/1)

Hard to be too positive about any of these but the assessor has given NOTFORALONGTIME a major chance so he gets the tentative nod. Eastern Wind shaped quite nicely last time and is a threat, along with Mogwli
