Forecasts

Acorn (7/2), Safe Return (7/2), Whatever Next (4/1), Smorgasbord (6/1), Captain Morisco (13/2), Inherit The Rain (7/1), Gallic Tribe (14/1), Naval Secret (14/1), Tarantino (16/1), Slings And Arrows (18/1), Father's Frost (20/1), Greenlighttoheaven (20/1), Cool Winter (25/1), Adios Amigos (33/1), European Summer (33/1)

WHATEVER NEXT ran really well last time and gets the nod in this company. Safe Return might be the answer to second place, while Tarantino shouldn't be discarded.
