Forecasts

O'tenikwa (15/8), Taxi To The Moon (5/2), I Am Giant (10/3), King Of The Gauls (13/2), Future Variety (8/1), Saudi Cat (8/1), Warrior Royale (12/1), Lion Rampart (18/1), Winds Of Change (25/1), Hierarchy (33/1), Dark Matter (40/1)

TAXI TO THE MOON looks marginally the pick in this field. O'tenikwa could be the one to benefit if the selection underperforms, while Future Variety also requires consideration.
