Forecasts

Kiss Me Captain (5/2), Mercantour (4/1), Marigold Hotel (4/1), Rollwiththepunches (9/2), Val D'orcia (8/1), Bon Vivant (10/1), Maharanee (10/1), Taikonaut (16/1), Smorgasbord (20/1), Godswood (22/1), Danilo Danilovitch (25/1)

MARIGOLD HOTEL is very hard to get away from. Mercantour makes most appeal among the rest, while Kiss Me Captain is another with the potential to be on the premises.
