Forecasts

La Moohal (6/4), Godfather (7/2), Diesel's Shadow (11/2), Libeccio (6/1), Laughing William (7/1), Princess Azariah (7/1), Full Go (12/1), Golden Pavilion (20/1), Tree Fairy (20/1), Masters Queen (25/1)

TREE FAIRY's recent efforts have been likeable on the whole and she looks the one they all have to beat. Godfather seems the principal danger, while Princess Azariah might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
