Forecasts

Garrulous (11/8), Erik The Red (7/2), Pray For Rain (4/1), Captain Morisco (12/1), Tread Swiftly (12/1), Mk's Pride (14/1), Dandolo (16/1), Action Packed (33/1), Rise As One (33/1), Bold Horizon (33/1), Sir Pom (33/1), The Contractor (40/1), Colour My Fate (80/1), Tai Gold (100/1)

PRAY FOR RAIN left his previous form behind last time and is a major player. Captain Morisco could have the most to offer of the remainder, while Garrulous is another with place prospects.
