Forecasts

Shader (4/7), Al Ameed (7/2), Cadogan Place (13/2), Fireblade (11/1), Al Haal (50/1), Comet Chaser (80/1), Marble Sands (150/1)

SHADER pulled clear of the remainder when opening his account at Southwell earlier this month and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet. He can follow up. Al Ameed and Cadogan Place look the likeliest dangers.
