Forecasts

Monaasib (2/1), Mr Wendell (11/2), San Andreas (11/2), Harpocrates (11/2), Preamble (11/2), Nebo (10/1), Pierre Lapin (16/1), Koolasice (20/1)

MONAASIB has been doing all he can in better company so far this term so, he's worth chancing to make the most of this much more simple task. Preamble is making a rather belated return but remains with potential stepping up in trip, so he's considered a threat along with Harpocrates.
