Forecasts

Taj Mahal (4/7), Brutal (11/4), Chronicles (7/2), Red Label (4/1), Secret Memories (100/1)

TAJ MAHAL was useful last year and should come on for his recent reappearance; he sets the bar high for the rest to aim at. Brutal is better than he showed last time out but wouldn't want to see a lot of rain while Chronicles look progressive but will need to take another step forward if he is to become a factor.
