Forecasts

Usa's Hope (11/4), Strawberry Bear (7/2), Coin Spinner (4/1), Tread Swiftly (13/2), After The Rain (7/1), Formagear (12/1), Cartel Captain (14/1), Good Traveller (14/1), Look For Hounds (18/1), Ishnana (20/1), Vaseem (22/1), Bowie (25/1), Back To Black (33/1)

AFTER THE RAIN is taken to make the most of this opportunity. Usa's Hope could be the chief danger, while Tread Swiftly can't be ruled out of it either.
