Forecasts

Imposing (11/4), Tyrconnell (3/1), I Salute You (9/2), Bowie (11/2), Savantrix (6/1), Kitchakal (10/1), Parmenion (12/1), African Dusk (25/1), Nelson Bay (28/1), My Golly Molly (28/1), Shampompo Shampizi (40/1), Giambattista (40/1)

IMPOSING looks to have more or less the best credentials but can't afford for much to go wrong. Tyrconnell seems the principal danger, while African Dusk is another that merits respect.
