Forecasts

Al Sakeet (11/10), Celestial Love (5/2), Riverstown (6/1), Bartholdi (17/2), Battle Force (11/1), Mr Flood (14/1), Shango (18/1), Mardi Gras (20/1), Chimichuri Run (22/1), Rivarine (28/1)

RIVERSTOWN looks to have marginally the best claims but will need everything to fall right. Shango could have the most to offer of the remainder, while Celestial Love is another with a place chance.
