Forecasts

Back To Basics (2/1), Irontail (11/4), Trust The Fire (6/1), Red Carpet Girl (7/1), Arbitrator (17/2), Irrevocable Dream (9/1), Great Times (10/1), Lizado (14/1), Miss Soho (22/1), Bridge Of Spies (33/1)

TRUST THE FIRE looks to have narrowly the best credentials. Back To Basics is a danger, while Great Times can't be ruled out of things either.
