Forecasts

Mc Loven (2/1), Cloud King (4/1), Imperial Guard (9/2), Grace Angel (7/1), General Assembly (15/2), Agostino (12/1), Blazes Boylan (16/1), Vibrato (18/1), Kakarotto (28/1)

GENERAL ASSEMBLY has dropped to a tempting mark and was a bit better than the bare result when third here 3 weeks ago, so shades the vote over Vibrato and Mc Loven.
