Forecasts

African Adventure (9/4), Chitengo (3/1), Tyrus Express (11/2), Atyaab (11/2), Captain Chorus (12/1), Imperial Ruby (12/1), Factor Fifty (16/1), Sunshine Silk (25/1), Gold Griffin (25/1), Odd Rob (28/1), Out Of Your League (33/1), Lord Silverio (40/1)

CHITENGO is quite clearly in front of these formwise and will take plenty of beating. Imperial Ruby is given the vote for second, while African Adventure is another with a place chance.
