Forecasts

Theatrical Star (9/2), Harry Topper (5/1), Masters Hill (15/2), Kaki De La Pree (8/1), As De Fer (17/2), Wychwoods Brook (9/1), Whats Happening (10/1), Shotavodka (10/1), Perfect Candidate (12/1), Buywise (12/1), Katkeau (14/1), Katenko (16/1), Al Co (16/1)

All of these have questions to answer on one level or another, but AL CO has some very solid form to his name and takes some pegging back when he is on song. Whats Happening is an obvious threat given his ability go well fresh, while Theatrical Star and Masters Hill are others who make appeal out of those likely to be available at longer odds. 1. Al Co 2. Whats Happening 3. Theatrical Star
