Forecasts

Katsu (7/2), Get Impressed (4/1), Magic Verse (5/1), Willie John (6/1), No Apologies (17/2), Hat's Pride (9/1), Except Temptation (14/1), Incredibill (14/1), Bardolino (18/1), Andi's Girl (20/1), Shavout (20/1), Legal Chitchat (22/1), Faire Advantage (25/1), Spirit's Unite (28/1), Lord Fyfield (40/1), Das Gute (50/1)

HAT'S PRIDE has been hard to fault and just about gets the nod in this company. Willie John makes most appeal of the rest, while Legal Chitchat should also be considered.
