Forecasts

Outbreak (2/7), Gorak (10/1), Teddy's Profit (10/1), Million Thanks (10/1), Oliver's Army (12/1), Bababobo (14/1), Moon Over The Sea (16/1), Pretty Bouquet (33/1), Sun Hill (33/1), Belle Of Annandale (40/1), Echosmith (50/1), Rebel Army (125/1), Mintnthat (150/1), Regal Vision (150/1)

It's hard to look past OUTBREAK, who confirmed his debut promise when scoring at Salisbury a fortnight ago and likely has more to offer yet. Gorak and Oliver's Army rate the principal dangers.
