Forecasts

Admiralty Arch (11/8), Texas Red (5/1), Cocoa Hill (13/2), Great Times (7/1), Big City Girl (9/1), Feather The Nest (9/1), Meet The Captain (11/1), Silvery Blue (14/1), Jet Cat (14/1), Earl Of Cardigan (20/1), Bridge Of Spies (33/1), The Cambo (50/1)

ADMIRALTY ARCH is selected rather gingerly but has little margin for error. Cocoa Hill makes most appeal of the remainder, while Silvery Blue shouldn't be ruled out.
