Forecasts

Permesso Avanti (5/4), Tanzanite Queen (7/4), Warship (7/1), Say When (11/1), Cold Fact (12/1), Greens (14/1), Lucy In The Sky (18/1), Muleta (20/1)

PERMESSO AVANTI is fairly difficult to fault and just about sets the standard. Tanzanite Queen looks to have most to offer of the rest, while Warship also commands a second look.
