Forecasts

Music Is Life (7/2), Mr Pigalle (9/2), Master Fuego (11/2), Hope Is Power (6/1), Voldemort (6/1), Cupid's Song (6/1), Time Together (13/2), Gold Index (17/2), Ibutho (9/1), Ice Kingdom (10/1), Captain Who (14/1), Turbo Boost (20/1)

ICE KINGDOM just about edges it as the selection. Gold Index can also play a major role, while Mr Pigalle may grab a bit more place money.
