Forecasts

In The Ether (6/4), Risky Business (11/4), Smelting (9/2), Sahara Dawn (9/2), Cue The Rebel (13/2), Heirloom (20/1), Fennec Fox (20/1), Bossy Boots (33/1)

SMELTING might be worth chancing despite a poor strike rate. In The Ether is tough to ignore, while Fennec Fox is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
