Forecasts

Towers Of Gold (13/8), Ryan's Dream (3/1), Guy Alexander (7/2), Whispers Of War (13/2), Romeo's Magic (10/1), Japanese Maple (11/1), Al Akhtaar (18/1)

JAPANESE MAPLE has fewer question marks about him than the others but has next to no margin for error. Whispers Of War seems the primary danger, while Ryan's Dream is another with the potential to figure.
