Forecasts

Bob's Your Uncle (2/1), Max The Magician (5/2), Argo Alley (3/1), Jury's Out (6/1), The Africa House (13/2), Silent War (15/2), Wyzeact (8/1), Savannah Storm (11/1), Fire 'n Flames (14/1), Esquevelle (14/1), Cian The Conqueror (16/1), Breeze Over (22/1)

JURY'S OUT just about looks the one to be with but has little margin for error. The Africa House could emerge as the main challenger, while Max The Magician edges it for third.
