Forecasts

Carriacou (9/4), Fibonacci (3/1), Oliver (7/2), Callmegetrix (4/1), Aspect (5/1), Future Turn (9/1), Kitchakal (14/1), Tout A Fait (16/1), Magic Verse (18/1), War Chariot (20/1), Speeding Bullet (28/1), Machete Man (50/1)

CALLMEGETRIX makes plenty of appeal on these terms. Carriacou is tough to ignore, while Fibonacci is one to bear in mind as well.
