Forecasts

Phil's Dream (4/1), My Girl Sioux (9/2), Hezahunk (9/2), Sam's Xpress (7/1), Bonny Power (15/2), Havana Notion (15/2), Below Deck (10/1), Coolcalmncollected (12/1), Pro Bono Alexander (25/1), Maggie Thunder (25/1), Reinforce (33/1), Kuwait Direction (40/1), Astral Beat (40/1)

MY GIRL SIOUX has been knocking on the door here lately and might be up to landing a first success. Hezahunk is another who arrives on the back of a couple of near misses here and is respected for Ado McGuinness. January's course scorer Phil's Dream completes the shortlist.
