Forecasts

Teflon Man (2/1), Sun Blushed (5/2), Good Traveller (9/2), Captain Bombshell (9/2), Thisiswhatitmeans (8/1), Sovereign State (10/1), African Skyline (14/1), Beechamwood Boy (20/1), Captain Casey (28/1), Addabar (33/1)

CAPTAIN BOMBSHELL can give all these something to think about but hasn't much room for error. Good Traveller is another who could have a big say in proceedings, while Teflon Man is also in the running for some place money at least.
