Forecasts

Gallic Dream (9/4), Talk To The Master (3/1), Powerandtheglory (4/1), Carriacou (5/1), Rosh Kedesh (6/1), Moonlight Trader (12/1), Mauritius Kestrel (14/1), Tout A Fait (16/1), Big Unit (25/1), San Pedro (25/1), Handsome Prince (50/1), Tail Of The Comet (50/1)

TOUT A FAIT looks marginally the best of this bunch but hasn't much room for error. Carriacou could emerge as the chief threat, while Talk To The Master looks best of the remainder.
