Forecasts

I Am Giant (6/4), Swing Upon A Star (4/1), Moonshiningthrough (9/2), Cold Fact (6/1), Bartholdi (7/1), Danilo Danilovitch (17/2), Mercantour (22/1), Black Egret (25/1), Rollwiththepunches (28/1), Faustino (33/1)

I AM GIANT is probably the best recommendation but it's open. Moonshiningthrough heads the dangers, while Cold Fact can fight it out for minor honours.
