Forecasts

Pro Bono (7/2), Gemini Man (4/1), Ta Na La (4/1), Lucky Number (8/1), Everyhouronthehour (9/1), Clever Capall (9/1), Coushty (10/1), Two Two Time (12/1), Thatboathassailed (14/1), French Company (16/1), Millyupdahilly (25/1), Munfallet (28/1), Gabbys Girl (33/1), Lisabetta (40/1), Snow Lotus (66/1)
