Forecasts

Royal Power (10/11), Flying Honours (4/1), Intricacy (9/2), Keffaaf (14/1), Asaassi (16/1), New Comedy (22/1), Deciduous (25/1), Max Mayhem (33/1), Goldspur (33/1), Rock Walk (40/1), Wild Crusade (40/1)

ROYAL POWER is running very well right now as most recent effort shows and has principal claims. Intricacy is probably the main threat, while Keffaaf commands a closer look as well.
