Forecasts

Flindrikin (5/2), Typical Woman (9/2), Blue Yonder (5/1), Bringbackmemories (6/1), Avon Light (6/1), Reel Prospect (15/2), Graces Quest (15/2), My Roxanne (8/1), Tilsitt (25/1)

FLINDRIKIN is progressive and has been allotted a reasonable opening mark, so she's worth a chance to open her account at the likely expense of the in-form My Roxanne. Most of the others have some sort of chance, with Blue Yonder arguably the most appealing of them.
