Forecasts

Boogie Shoes (5/2), Top Honours (3/1), Lundy Island (4/1), Flower Season (11/2), Nkalanzinzi (8/1), Theroseofbecharre (8/1), Reginas Angel (14/1), Groundhog Day (14/1)

TOP HONOURS appeals best of these by a narrow margin but can't afford for much to go wrong. Boogie Shoes seems the primary danger, while Lundy Island is in the running for a share of the minor money.
