Forecasts

Raisetheredlantern (5/2), Ushuaia (4/1), Saipan (6/1), Hilarity (8/1), Born A Star (8/1), Fearless Kitty (8/1), Rose Of Bayeux (16/1), Great Melody (16/1), Wangan Midnight (20/1), Meeneera (25/1), Absolu Noir (25/1), Knave Of Diamonds (25/1), Silver Celebrity (28/1), Head Gardener (28/1), Global Ash (33/1), Irish Sea (50/1)

RAISETHEREDLANTERN should be bang there. Great Melody could be the biggest danger, while Hilarity also needs a closer look.
