Forecasts

Brennus Lescribaa (1/2), Finished Article (9/2), Hillsdale (15/2), Iron Allen (9/1), Jeronimo De L'ouch (14/1), Black Barrel (20/1), Walk In The Stars (40/1), Warmer Days Ahead (40/1), Howdoyalikeherhome (80/1), Silverfort Lady (200/1)

No depth to this maiden but BRENNUS LESCRIBAA has displayed fair form both starts since being switched to this sphere and he looks the way to go. Hillsdale and Iron Allen can do battle for the forecast spot.
