Forecasts

Joker Man (7/4), William Iron Arm (9/4), Gimme A Shot (7/2), The Africa House (6/1), Eye Of The Prophet (7/1), Mercantour (14/1), Key Element (18/1), Savannah Storm (18/1)

KEY ELEMENT just about appeals most in this field but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Gimme A Shot is the most pragmatic second option, while The Africa House can't be ruled out of it either.
