Forecasts

On Target (11/10), Quatermain (3/1), One More Star (7/2), Kudzu (5/1), Eiger Sanction (13/2), Circle Of Grace (9/1), Greenhouse (12/1), Guy Alexander (12/1), Luthuli (14/1), Professor Snape (14/1), Supreme Dance (18/1)

KUDZU is in a good vein of form and could be difficult to catch. Circle Of Grace seems the primary danger, while On Target is another to note.
