Forecasts

Samurai Jack (9/4), Convexity (10/3), Tartan Dancer (9/2), Heart Of A Legend (7/1), Fantasy Flower (7/1), Numberninetynine (9/1), Manitoba (10/1), Stormy Winter (12/1), Welsh Harp (14/1), Anatura (14/1), In The Game (20/1), Latin Opus (20/1), Bravo One (25/1), Out Of The Rainbow (28/1), Just Dance (33/1), Earth Shaker (50/1), Jackman (50/1)

TARTAN DANCER looks marginally the pick of this bunch on these terms. In The Game could well have a say too, along with Latin Opus.
