Forecasts

Bequest (8/11), In Full Bloom (7/1), Initiator (15/2), Hear The Trumpet (9/1), Golden Spiral (12/1), Pretty Jolly (14/1), Gypsy Woman (16/1), Diamonds 'n Dust (16/1), Hello Happiness (25/1), Samoa (25/1), Arabella Queen (28/1), Vars Jy (33/1)

PRETTY JOLLY has been operating at a solid level lately and has a fair chance. Initiator seems the most likely to capitalise if the selection fails to deliver, while Bequest is another that should go well.
