Forecasts

Ghost Of The Mambo (5/1), Elraaed (7/1), National Bank (7/1), Dubai Welcome (7/1), Sunny Street (7/1), Out From Under (8/1), Ranchero (11/1), Sudden Ambush (11/1), Eruptive (12/1), Moonshiner (14/1), Franz Kafka (14/1), Mashkoor (14/1), Seendid (20/1), Tahdeed (22/1), Hurry Up (28/1)

ERUPTIVE has slender claims but it's an open race. Sudden Ambush is another who could have a big say in proceedings, while Sunny Street is another that could go well.
