Forecasts

Millahue (9/4), Vesuvio (7/2), Weather Wizard (7/2), Whafeef (13/2), Royal Edition (7/1), Imperial Master (10/1), Professor Snape (12/1), Afraad (14/1), Prime Example (33/1)

MILLAHUE has an emphatic advantage on form and shouldn't be troubled too much. Royal Edition is put forward as the best option for the forecast, while Professor Snape edges things for third.
