Forecasts

Selukwe (4/1), Kitchakal (9/2), Ancient World (5/1), Nocturnal Flight (5/1), Lindbergh (7/1), Master Of Destiny (7/1), Bristol Hercules (8/1), Famous Warrior (17/2), Spelling Bee (17/2), Down By The River (10/1), Arverni King (25/1), Laudato (28/1)

NOCTURNAL FLIGHT just about looks the one to be with but it's open. Master Of Destiny is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Kitchakal deserves some consideration as well.
