Forecasts

Trafalgar Square (5/2), One Too Many (11/4), Justaguything (11/2), Joshua Hotsnake (6/1), Drogarati (6/1), Chara Sands (6/1), Valiente (7/1), Sting Ray (7/1), Hampton Court (8/1), General Hancock (33/1)

ONE TOO MANY looks the one to be with, but has little margin for error. Trafalgar Square is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Sting Ray is another to bear in mind.
