Forecasts

Conquest Of Power (10/3), Al Baahy (7/2), Bungle Bay (5/1), Romanovich (6/1), River Wharfe (8/1), Candy Warhol (10/1), Timebar (12/1), Porfin (14/1), Piloto Pardo (18/1), Mudlahhim (40/1)

AL BAAHY was left with far too much to do back up in trip here 2 weeks ago and is worth another chance returned to 7f. The thriving Bungle Bay is an obvious threat, while Romanovich could bounce back with headgear re-fitted.
