Forecasts

Lethal Blast (6/5), Shamshon (5/1), Spurofthemoment (5/1), Centurion Song (5/1), Vandad (10/1), The Nosey Parker (10/1), Real Estate (11/1), Zulu Zander (12/1), Louis Treize (16/1), Thegreyvtrain (22/1)

It's hard to get away from LETHAL BLAST, who is in the form of her life and is very well treated here. Centurion Song and Shamshon may give her most to think about.
