Forecasts

Edwardian (1/1), Leap Year (2/1), Son Of Corballis (11/4), Expecto (5/1), Jungle Dance (9/1), Velvet Skies (9/1)

LEAP YEAR is bred for a bit further than 1m but should have enough speed to be able to make a winning start at the possible expense of his stablemate Edwardian, who is also by No Nay Never. Expecto could improve for her initial experience, so she's worthy of consideration, too.
