Forecasts

Pot Sox (11/8), Herrin (7/2), Tallahassee (4/1), Intrepid Traveller (5/1), Too Phat To Fly (10/1), Red Berry (18/1), Bad Habit (20/1), Forward March (25/1), Beneficiary (28/1), Eternal Hope (28/1), Travel In Style (33/1), Forest Field (33/1), Regal Graduation (33/1), Durty Nelly (40/1)

POT SOX has a quite marked edge on form and is going to be hard to beat. Too Phat To Fly is the rational second choice, while Eternal Hope edges it as the selection for third.
