Forecasts

Inherit The Rain (6/4), Speed Machine (9/5), Bush Tracker (3/1), Castletown (5/1), Safe Return (7/1), Naval Secret (17/2), Greenlighttoheaven (17/2), Safari Blue (14/1), Tarantino (20/1), Celtillus (20/1), Origami (33/1), Paris Rix (40/1)

SAFE RETURN just about edges it as the selection but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Speed Machine shouldn't be underestimated, while Tarantino is one to bear in mind too.
