Forecasts

Mondammej (3/1), Our Absent Friends (11/2), Al Farabi (6/1), Parisiac (6/1), Strong Johnson (6/1), Sugar Hill Babe (13/2), Dark Kestrel (7/1), Rhythm N Hooves (12/1)

MONDAMMEJ shaped as if still in good form when second here last time and remains of interest back at his best trip. His stablemate Dark Kestrel is a potential threat if getting the breaks, while Al Farabi should have more to offer for his current yard.
