Forecasts

Sir Harmony (2/1), Mnawish (5/2), Galactic Star (9/2), Casino Bay (13/2), On The Way (10/1), Wraithy (10/1), Military Order (16/1), Zoren (22/1), Arz Lebnan (28/1)

SIR HARMONY has achieved most of those with experience and is the pick. Mnawish shouldn't be underestimated on debut, while Military Order looks the one for the minor money.
