Forecasts

What A State (11/4), Shantastic (7/2), Hunting Trip (4/1), Distinction (9/2), Miss Greenlight (11/2), Flying First (9/1), Queen Of Sparta (18/1), Oscar's Winner (18/1), Mulberry Street (25/1), Hear My Voice (28/1)

FLYING FIRST should be bang there. Hear My Voice seems the primary danger, while Shantastic has place prospects as well.
