Forecasts

Muzaahim (4/1), No Escape (4/1), Action Point (6/1), Mutaany (13/2), Military Artist (7/1), Mr Kafoo (8/1), Dapper Valley (14/1), Almutanabbi (14/1), State Glory (18/1), Second Name (20/1), Road Bloc (22/1), Mr Pirelli (22/1), Spirit Of Leros (25/1), Smart System (28/1), Namaguederaz (28/1)

ACTION POINT found only one too good last week and can make amends here. Muzaahim gets the vote for second for a powerful trainer/jockey combination, while Mutaany can see out the 1-2-3.
