Forecasts

Defence Treaty (10/3), Brave Display (7/2), Bawaader (5/1), Shorts On (11/2), Twistaline (6/1), Kodebreaker (7/1), Guitar (12/1), Vive La Reine (14/1), Adaayinourlife (20/1), Neverbatsaneyelid (20/1), Piselli Molli (28/1), Salve Japan (66/1), Straitouttacompton (80/1)

BRAVE DISPLAY ran well upped in grade despite not being seen to best effect here last week, so he's put forward as the answer. Shorts On is another who looks to be coming to the boil, with Twistaline completing the shortlist.
