Forecasts

Faizah (2/1), Ice Sunsation (7/2), Imperious Destiny (6/1), Wonderful (13/2), Sea Goddess (15/2), Lillybelle (15/2), Flight Maneuver (8/1), Escapologist (10/1), Lady Canton (11/1), Family Favourite (16/1)

ESCAPOLOGIST should be thereabouts but hasn't much room for error. Faizah is the most realistic next preference, while Wonderful also comes into the reckoning.
