Forecasts

King Of Numbers (3/1), Sail The Sky (3/1), Call Me Master (9/2), Alone Time (11/2), Remains Of The Day (13/2), Midnight Fusion (7/1), Falcon Strike (11/1), Written In Stone (12/1), Kylie's Angel (12/1), Pendragon (14/1)

CALL ME MASTER couldn't justify market support on his most recent run, but looks the one to be on once again. Written In Stone may be the best bet to chase the selection home, while Alone Time is another to take into acount.
