Forecasts

Ancestral Prayer (7/4), Chere For Me (7/2), Crown Plaza (9/2), Princess Deb's (5/1), For All We Know (5/1), State Of Mind (20/1), Right Choice (22/1), Paris Opera (22/1), Quenanza (25/1), Begonia (33/1)

PARIS OPERA could be the way to go. Ancestral Prayer is tough to ignore, while Princess Deb's could also get a look-in.
