Forecasts

El Introvertido (6/5), Mayaadeen (10/3), Maplewood (9/2), Gareth (7/1), Ranchero (15/2), City King (15/2), Homespin (14/1), Waqet (16/1), Imprison (22/1), Tolmount (25/1), Melicertes (25/1), El Faras (50/1), Alnadir (50/1), Al Battar (66/1)

EL INTROVERTIDO is narrowly favoured. Gareth is probably the sternest threat, while Mayaadeen edges it as the selection for third.
