Forecasts

Dapper (3/1), Definitely Yes (9/2), El Rey Viene (9/2), Parmenion (11/2), King's Island (8/1), Mvelelo (10/1), Kumemori (11/1), Prince Of Troy (11/1), Charlie Croker (12/1), Eventidor (16/1), Meerkat Moon (22/1)

DAPPER just about gets the nod. Parmenion has to come into the equation too, while El Rey Viene demands respect as well.
