Forecasts

Mind Reader (11/4), May Queen (10/3), Greens (7/2), Upcloseandpersonal (9/2), Southern Charm (11/2), All Of Me (16/1), Ulla (16/1), Before The Dawn (18/1), Winter Watch (28/1), Princess Nicole (28/1), Golden Spiral (50/1)

MIND READER looks to have marginally the best credentials but will need to be firing on all cylinders. May Queen looks the likeliest runner-up, while Upcloseandpersonal is one to bear in mind too.
