Forecasts

Beach Bomb (1/2), Rascova (3/1), Secret Identity (7/2), Gimmethatpearl (5/1), Royals (15/2), Summer Lily (9/1), Canford Rose (22/1)

BEACH BOMB looks to have marginally the best credentials but can't afford for much to go wrong. Royals is another for the shortlist, while Secret Identity could well have a say too.
