Forecasts

Claw (7/4), Shinto Shrine (3/1), Majestic Touch (7/2), Celtic Rush (5/1), Laughing William (7/1), Willow Express (15/2), Eiger Sanction (8/1), Guardia Regine (12/1), Circle Of Grace (22/1), Leao Alado (25/1), Crimson Forest (25/1)

SHINTO SHRINE is some way clear on form and will take all the beating. Majestic Touch is the most pragmatic second choice, while Claw is another likely to be on the premises.
