Forecasts

How About No (4/9), Sea Wave (11/4), Scatchwah (6/1), Perseids (12/1), Hungry Rock (40/1), Gringo (50/1), Kiss My Lucky Egg (50/1), Zazir (80/1), Churchmouse (100/1), Path To The Moon (125/1), Sweet Maisie (125/1), Ash Court (150/1), Lough Alina (150/1)

HOW ABOUT NO shaped with plenty of encouragement first time out and should improve enough to land this. Scatchwah and Sea Wave are closely matched with the selection on form but don't have as much potential.
