Forecasts

Bradesco (2/1), No Trouble (10/3), Female Approach (9/2), Complete Fiction (11/2), Kalanoura (10/1), Scalor (14/1), Shaylee (14/1), Bader Ginsburg (16/1), The Fallen Madonna (16/1), Trump Card (33/1), Secret Wizard (40/1), Tenth Amendment (66/1), Paddytheirishman (80/1), Swift Sonnet (150/1)

The thriving NO TROUBLE was only just denied the hat-trick over C&D 3 weeks ago, pulling clear of the rest, and remains of interest. Complete Fiction bounced back to form when runner-up here 2 weeks ago and would be a danger if able to back that up, with Female Approach and Bradesco others to consider.
