Forecasts

I Dream Of Genie (11/4), Fromheretoeternity (7/2), Bat Out Of Hell (9/2), Midnight Gem (13/2), La Valliere (15/2), Laetitia's Angel (12/1), Hey Gorgeous (12/1), Diamonds 'n Dust (14/1), Gal Gadot (14/1), Little Rain (18/1), Desert Pride (20/1), Twelve Oaks (20/1), Cocoa Hill (33/1)

I DREAM OF GENIE frustrated those who made her favourite last time, but is taken to make the most of this opening. Diamonds 'N Dust should be thereabouts, while Fromheretoeternity can fight it out for minor honours.
