Forecasts

Empirestateofmind (5/2), Abduction (9/2), Spirit Genie (11/2), Revich (11/2), Bellarchi (8/1), Look Back Smiling (8/1), Capital Guarantee (17/2), On The River (12/1), Cephalus (14/1), Chalk Mountain (16/1), Al Waqidi (16/1), Little Boy Blue (40/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but EMPIRESTATEOFMIND rates the pick at these weights so is fancied to end a losing sequence at the chief expense of Abduction who can also have a say on these terms. Cephalus, On The River and Spirit Genie all need factoring in too.
