Forecasts

Jet Bund (8/11), Give Us A Smile (5/2), Mo Flow (9/1), Slainte Mhath (9/1), Gangster Boss (10/1), Regazzo Grande (14/1), Duke Orsino (20/1), Master Of Defense (22/1), Shunmyo (28/1), Countessofthestars (28/1), Thunder Force (40/1)

GIVE US A SMILE should be thereabouts but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Jet Bund is the most prudent second choice, while Slainte Mhath is not out of it where the places are concerned.
