Forecasts

Sekhmet (4/6), Timeforthat (11/2), The Makwakkers (7/1), Signals (8/1), Elusive Swann (11/1), Simply Complicated (14/1), Comet Crystal (18/1), Valencia (20/1), Golden Tune (33/1)

SEKHMET was a shade disappointing when favourite last time out, but gets the vote again. Comet Crystal is probably the sternest threat, while Simply Complicated shouldn't be ruled out.
