Forecasts

Never To Clever (11/8), Porfirio (9/4), Equestrian Affair (9/4), Red Hot (5/1), Big Five (11/2), Musical Kiss (9/1), Vesuvio (16/1), Blackburn Jet (28/1), Ballista (28/1), Robin Redbreast (40/1)

EQUESTRIAN AFFAIR has slender claims but it's an open race. Porfirio looks the main threat, while Big Five isn't entirely out of it either.
