Forecasts

Cruise Control (13/8), Cliff Top (2/1), Whatever Next (5/1), Paris Rix (10/1), Captain Tatters (12/1), Evies First (14/1), Narcos (18/1), What A Winner (18/1), Chief Of State (28/1), Captain Oupie (33/1), Regimental (40/1)

CRUISE CONTROL is probably the safest recommendation but will need everything to fall right. Cliff Top is probably the chief opposition, while Whatever Next is another with a place chance.
