Forecasts

Mulberry Hill (85/40), Wbee (9/4), Geordie Des Champs (7/2), Calum Gilhooley (9/2), Butler's Brief (11/2), Some Day Soon (12/1)

A few with chances but MULBERRY HILL gets the vote given she was set a lot to do when just edged out here at the start of the month and still looks on an attractive mark. In-form C&D scorer Geordie des Champs rates the chief threat, although prolific winner Wbee must enter calculations too.
