Forecasts

Encounter (7/4), Cilician (10/3), The Balearic Sun (5/1), Collateral Damage (11/2), Storm Blade (6/1), Gymbaazy (13/2), Dontlookbackinanga (22/1), Or Ever (22/1), State Of War (33/1), My A'ali Baba (50/1), Beach Noir (80/1), Walcourt (150/1)

CILICIAN sets a useful standard and may well open his account with sights lowered. Gymbaazy and Collateral Damage both carry a penalty but can improve on their respective debut wins, while there's probably better to come from Encounter, too.
