Forecasts

Sound Of Summer (2/1), Bingwa (3/1), Bowie (9/2), Sentbydestiny (6/1), Sovereign Spirit (15/2), Willow Express (8/1), Stone Cold (8/1), Out Of Your League (50/1)

STONE COLD looks marginally the best of these but it promises to be touch and go. Willow Express is chief among the dangers, while Bowie commands a second look as well.
