Forecasts

Putins Promise (3/1), Sekhmet (4/1), Love Posy (7/1), Lets Talk (17/2), Kind Judy (17/2), Rainbow Rising (17/2), Readysetglo (9/1), Capetown Affair (10/1), The Makwakkers (12/1), Valencia (14/1), Irish Rain (14/1), Meet The Captain (33/1), Golden Tune (33/1), Broadway Babe (66/1)

KIND JUDY is the tentative selection but it's an open race. Love Posy should be thereabouts, while Sekhmet should go well too.
