Forecasts

Toffas (5/4), Thunderstone (9/4), Futurewolff (11/2), River Romeo (7/1), Libeccio (11/1), Roll Over Redrover (12/1), Rosy Lemon (16/1), The Chosen One (20/1), Samthewiseman (22/1), English Primrose (40/1)

LIBECCIO looks marginally the pick of this bunch. Rosy Lemon seems the most likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Roll Over Redrover can place at least.
