Forecasts

Feather The Nest (7/2), Integrate (4/1), After Hours (5/1), Edward Longshanks (7/1), Roger The Dodger (8/1), Written In Stone (9/1), Coming In Hot (14/1), Big City Girl (14/1), Sabrina Fairchild (18/1), Gal Gadot (20/1), Voyeur (20/1), Back To Basics (25/1), Sky Glitter (28/1), Grecia (28/1), Giancarlo (28/1), Caruso (33/1), British Diva (33/1)

BRITISH DIVA looks marginally the best of this bunch but it promises to be touch and go. Feather The Nest makes most appeal of the remainder, while Sabrina Fairchild edges it so far as third place is concerned.
