Forecasts

Silver Falcon (2/1), Bereave (5/2), Wecangoallnight (11/4), Ragnar Lothbrok (15/2), Speed Machine (10/1), Resonate (12/1), Mr Cobbs (25/1), Firealley (28/1)

WECANGOALLNIGHT is in good form and can strike. Ragnar Lothbrok has to be feared, while Speed Machine can't be ruled out of it either.
