Forecasts

Raasel (13/8), Natural Path (7/4), Hey Mr (5/1), Wrenthorpe (12/1), Fantasy Master (12/1), Equality (14/1), Lipsink (20/1), Tropics (50/1)

RAASEL has looked a different proposition since returning from a break and can complete the hat-trick. Natural Path and Hey Mr look the likeliest dangers.
