Forecasts

Make It Snappy (11/4), Cousin Casey (7/2), Jet Dark (4/1), Kommetdieding (8/1), Sparkling Water (10/1), Golden Ducat (18/1), Universal (22/1), Rascallion (28/1), Al Muthana (28/1), Do It Again (33/1), Rain In Holland (33/1), Marina (33/1), Linebacker (33/1), Nexus (50/1), Warrior (50/1), Zapatillas (50/1), Pomp And Power (66/1), Waterberry Lane (80/1), Gem King (80/1)

JET DARK's recent efforts have been likeable in general and he looks the one they all have to beat. Al Muthana is most likely the sternest opposition, while Kommetdieding demands respect as well.
