Forecasts

Baratheon (4/1), Thefutureisbright (9/2), Salvator Mundi (5/1), Rex Union (5/1), Black Thorn (15/2), Navy Strength (8/1), Arctic Drift (9/1), Master Redoute (18/1), Crome Yellow (18/1), Find Me Unafraid (22/1), Follow The Star (33/1)

THEFUTUREISBRIGHT looks marginally the pick in this field but has little room for error. Master Redoute is the most pragmatic second choice, while Find Me Unafraid is one to bear in mind too.
