Forecasts

Mambo Come Tesio (6/4), Vesuvio (3/1), Twenty Drachma's (6/1), Kadizora (15/2), Medlers Tart (8/1), United Council (10/1), Absolute Value (12/1), Arlington Action (16/1), Afraad (33/1), Flashy Apache (40/1)

VESUVIO formwise is some way in advance of these and will prove hard to beat. Mambo Come Tesio is not one to underestimate all the same, while United Council is not out of it for third place.
