Forecasts

Global Louise (5/1), Stately Home (7/1), Crusade To Royalty (8/1), Stunning Kitten (17/2), Jive Express (17/2), Tuuletar (9/1), Tinder Dry (9/1), Mirren (11/1), Mariposa (11/1), Rabia The Rebel (12/1), Fasinada (14/1), Astral Plane (14/1), Angel's Wish (16/1), Sophia's First (20/1), He'smakingeyesatme (25/1), Nabeela (40/1)

JIVE EXPRESS continues to run well and has fair claims. Global Louise is tough to ignore where second place is concerned, while Fasinada could well have a say too.
