Forecasts

Al Muthana (2/1), Sound Of Summer (11/4), Back To Black (11/2), Tierra Del Fuego (13/2), Indlamu (17/2), Donald Mcdonald (17/2), Chijmes (14/1), Leopold (18/1), Sell High (22/1), Bold Jazz (22/1)

BACK TO BLACK has been hard to fault in recent runs and has leading claims. Indlamu ought to be involved as well, while Sound Of Summer also merits respect.
