Forecasts

Cover Name (15/8), Imperial Eight (11/4), Naughty Ana (3/1), Sovereign Moon (5/1), Diva Dancer (14/1), Skedaddled (100/1)

A final chance is given to COVER NAME as perhaps 6f was a bit sharp for her last time. There are doubts about Naughty Ana seeing out this trip so Imperial Eight looks the chief threat.
