11/4

Forecasts

Musical Mystery (11/4), Ecclesiastical (3/1), Beauty Choice (4/1), Rock Opera (12/1), Thaki (12/1), Kitaab (12/1), Cooperation (16/1), Absolutelyflawless (18/1), A Pint Of Bear (20/1), McCauley's Tavern (20/1), Moai (28/1), Caesars Pearl (50/1)

ECCLESIASTICAL and Musical Mystery both produced career-best efforts to score last time but the former had a bit more in hand, so he takes marginal preference in a competitive race for the grade. Thaki is also worthy of respect.
