Forecasts

Trivial Matter (7/4), What A Man (5/2), Ferrando (7/2), Birdie And Bogie (5/1), Persistance (9/1), Fighter (10/1), Bonanza (11/1), Wordsworth (20/1), Silver Salmon (28/1), Magic Sailor (66/1)

BIRDIE AND BOGIE looks marginally the pick in this field but can't afford to put a foot wrong. What A Man could be the one to benefit if the selection underperforms, while Persistance also requires consideration.
