Forecasts

Acorn (3/1), Moon Game (4/1), Daughter Of Zeus (4/1), Silver Tycoon (8/1), Then In Focus (12/1), Life On Mars (16/1), Eyjafjallajokull (16/1), European Summer (16/1), Sand Bank (20/1), Vista Nova (25/1), Father's Frost (50/1)

THEN IN FOCUS looks marginally the pick in this field but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Acorn seems the most likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Daughter Of Zeus could well have a say too.
