Forecasts

Mashari (11/4), Double Espresso (11/4), Transonic (3/1), General Franco (4/1), Desolate Road (17/2), Cool Runnings (16/1), Di Mazzio (16/1), Collabro (28/1)

GENERAL FRANCO just about appeals most in this field but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Di Mazzio has to come into the equation too, while Transonic shouldn't be far away.
