Forecasts

Cabinet Of Clowns (6/4), Jupiter And Mars (9/2), Trailblazer (5/1), Sikorsky (6/1), Bunker Bay (11/1), Omniscient (12/1), Swift Tuttle (18/1), How Much Further (22/1), High And Wide (66/1), Perfect Charmer (80/1), Dylan's Ruby (200/1), Elementofsurprise (250/1)

CABINET OF CLOWNS is shaping up quite well and this looks a good opening for him unless Ralph Beckett newcomer Jupiter And Mars turns out to be above average. How Much Further could easily leave his debut run behind and is also on the shortlist.
