Forecasts

Frenetic (1/2), Chief Little Hawk (4/1), Eastern Voice (6/1), Moon In Her Eye (10/1), Hyde Park Barracks (12/1), Blue Cabochon (22/1), Tilia Cordata (25/1), All Things Bright (80/1), Sweet Gardenia (100/1)

FRENETIC is the clear form pick and might even up his game now back at a trip that's a bit more suitable than 6f, so she's an obvious choice ahead of Chief Little Hawk and Eastern Voice, who are both pretty consistent but are reliant on the selection underperforming.
