Forecasts

Quiet Endeavour (11/4), Trickbag (9/2), Shajjy (11/2), Lytham St Annes (6/1), Panoshoshic (15/2), Kananee (10/1), Tashaaboh (12/1), Riflescope (14/1), Cenotaph (20/1), Musaddas (25/1), Corsen (25/1)

A chance is taken on the low-mileage PANOSHOSHIC against more exposed opposition that generally find winning hard nowadays. Shajjy may be the one for the forecast, while Quiet Endeavour looks best of the rest.
