Forecasts

Eagle Alley (6/4), Stormy Winter (15/8), Samurai Jack (6/1), War Jewel (7/1), Waqaas (9/1), Romeo's Magic (14/1), Our Man In Havana (20/1), Apollo Robbins (28/1), El Romiachi (33/1), Twice The Surge (33/1)

WAQAAS is the pick of the weights but needs to put a poor effort behind him. El Romiachi ought to go well too, while Samurai Jack is another with a place chance too.
