Forecasts

Most Wanted (8/11), Believe In Science (10/3), God Knows (7/1), Coolree (8/1), Tasayad (16/1), Golden Star (33/1), Chicago Style (33/1), Indigo Five (40/1), Awqaat (66/1), Plunkett Street (80/1)

MOST WANTED holds the clear edge on form and is fancied to open his account at the fourth attempt on the back of his good C&D third. God Knows looks the one to give him most to do on the book, although Believe In Science could also have a say if on his A-game.
