Forecasts

Trachonitus (3/1), Something Nice (3/1), Sirjack Thomas (4/1), Encosta (6/1), Sheyya (13/2), Helpmeout (8/1), Catena Zapata (12/1), Higher Kingdom (14/1), Pandora Lovegood (14/1), National Emblem (20/1), Jungle Cove (25/1), Blackberry Jack (28/1)

Competitive fare but SIRJACK THOMAS will find this trip much more suitable than 7f so he just about gets the vote. Trachonitus and Helpmeout head the opposition.
