Forecasts

Statesman (13/8), Rose Tinted (5/2), Heirloom (7/2), Stormy Choice (9/1), Dr Faustus (14/1), Key Element (14/1), Storia (14/1), No Filter (18/1), Ambrym (20/1)

HEIRLOOM couldn't justify market support last time out, but is taken to make the most of this opening. Rose Tinted is hard to ignore if looking elsewhere, while Moving In is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
