Forecasts

All The Time (9/4), El Draque (5/2), Bom Bom (4/1), Intrepid (4/1), Gimme A Rainbow (5/1), Happy Wanderer (7/1), Quick Star (14/1), Benni In The Area (18/1), Preemptive Strike (25/1)

EL DRAQUE formwise is a fair way in front of these and has a lot in his favour. Benni In The Area is put forward as the best option for the forecast, while All The Time is another to bear in mind.
