Forecasts

Red Lark (13/8), Dubai Lights (7/2), Celtillus (6/1), Maxiumus (6/1), Night Song (15/2), Meliora (10/1), Smart William (12/1), Veratrum (14/1), Ruby Rhythm (25/1)

VERATRUM looks to have just about the best credentials but does need to bounce back from a lesser effort. Red Lark should be thereabouts too, while Celtillus is one to bear in mind too.
