Forecasts

Tout A Fait (9/4), Van Hunks (7/2), Max The Otter (7/2), Seeking The One (4/1), Running Rifles (15/2), Shampompo Shampizi (10/1), Silent Trigger (18/1), Silver Sky (33/1)

MAX THE OTTER has largely been running well and is just about the pick in this company. Van Hunks could be the hardest opposition, while Running Rifles deserves some consideration too.
