Forecasts

Haasim (13/8), Kal Barg (11/4), Yotarid (10/3), Al Arbed (6/1), Major Cinnamon (14/1), Ever Given (22/1), Shanaghai City (25/1), Jewel Genie Lamp (28/1)

HAASIM was the beaten market choice last time out, but still makes most appeal of these. He can come ahead of the Michael Costa-trained pair Yotarid and Kal Barg, in that order.
