Forecasts

Munchkin (13/8), Captain Dizzy (2/1), Mini Coop (7/1), Pinch Hit (9/1), Second Breath (10/1), Back To Basics (14/1), Super Agra (14/1), Lollapalooza (14/1), Archimides (16/1), In Cahoots (33/1), Esquevelle (33/1), Tanganga (33/1)

PINCH HIT looks to have more or less the best credentials. Second Breath gets the vote for second, while Mini Coop is another with a place chance.
