Forecasts

Futurewolff (2/1), Luthuli (11/4), American Biscuit (11/4), Thambi (4/1), Guerilla Warfare (11/2), Japanese Maple (6/1), Vava Vegas (9/1), Stormy Winter (16/1)

FUTUREWOLFF should give backers a decent run for their money. Guerilla Warfare seems the principal challenger, while Japanese Maple is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
