Forecasts

Code Zero (2/1), Tabby Kat (4/1), Mirren (6/1), Sister Light (13/2), Dark Travel (7/1), Linganomore (7/1), Franklin (9/1), Princess Kesh (11/1), Dindingwe (28/1)

MIRREN just about appeals most but it's an open race. Code Zero could provide the main danger, while Franklin looks best of the rest.
