Forecasts

Power Ranger (3/1), Clarkson (9/2), Baymax (11/2), Madabout Fashion (11/2), Kool Baikal (6/1), Bit Of Fun (7/1), Flying Grace (7/1), Elusive Swann (8/1), White Fang (11/1), Romeo's Magic (14/1), Fifth Of July (22/1), Ushuaia (28/1), August Leaves (33/1), Signals (80/1)

POWER RANGER will prove hard to catch if this different trip to usual isn't an inconvenience. Elusive Swann seemingly poses the biggest danger, while Kool Baikal shouldn't be ruled out.
