Forecasts

Hawker Typhoon (11/8), Linear (3/1), Vivid Jet (4/1), Silent Crusade (9/2), Candy Galore (11/2), Dieci (10/1), Blush Of Dawn (10/1), Glitter And Gold (10/1)

LINEAR appeals best of these by a narrow margin. Hawker Typhoon is taken for the forecast, while Dieci is another that could go well.
