Forecasts

Moya Wa Laliga (11/8), Flower Of Scotland (9/2), Capri Gold (11/2), The Makwakkers (6/1), Corvette Captain (8/1), Space Race (17/2), Meet The Captain (10/1), Midnight Badger (14/1), Gal Gadot (14/1), Catchthegreenlight (16/1), Golden Aspen (18/1), Feather The Nest (20/1), Urban Rock (20/1), Fantasy Flower (22/1), Cocoa Hill (40/1), Samuel Salt (50/1)

MEET THE CAPTAIN's recent runs have been likeable on the whole and she seems likely to take the beating. Flower Of Scotland is probably the sternest threat, while Space Race isn't dismissed lightly.
