Forecasts

Three Rocks (11/4), Ekoria (9/2), Hunting Trip (5/1), Bonnaroo (11/2), Madame Vicki (11/2), Chere For Me (15/2), European Summer (8/1), Ella's Delight (14/1), Rimaah (20/1), Stolen Kiss (28/1)

THREE ROCKS should be bang there but will need to be on song. Bonnaroo is the pick of the remainder, while Hunting Trip shouldn't be discarded.
