Forecasts

Defence Treaty (5/2), Jewel Maker (11/4), Red Poppy (9/2), Kentuckyconnection (9/2), Mandarin (15/2), Red Jasper (12/1), Island Storm (33/1), Station To Station (50/1), Maaward (100/1)

JEWEL MAKER was a ready winner over C&D 11 days ago and remains unexposed on AW, so is of interest again. Kentuckyconnection added a second win to what's been a splendidly consistent year over C&D 2 weeks ago and rates the main threat, with Defence Treaty best of the others.
