Forecasts

Cadatharla (10/11), Chainofconsequence (9/2), Simply Shabra (6/1), Low Lie The Fields (15/2), Park Hind (10/1), Justicialism (16/1), Buzz Light (28/1), Millen To One (33/1), Roi De Dubai (33/1), Young Fitzy (40/1), Reflectionist (40/1), Saved By The River (50/1)

CADATHARLA appears to be just the type to progress now he's handicapping and he has a lot more going for him than most. Chainofconsequence and Low Lie The Fields are a couple of potential threats.
