Forecasts

Dancing Tango (15/8), Reginalds Tower (11/5), Engagement Ring (7/2), Mr Escobar (13/2), Pahlavi (13/2), Beyond Boundaries (50/1), Golden Forest (150/1), One Over The Top (250/1)

PAHLAVI showed enough in a couple of maidens for Mrs J. Harrington in late summer that he can win a race of this nature, so he receives the vote. Dancing Tango and Engagement Ring are more exposed but are still considered big threats.
