Forecasts

Cruise Control (4/11), Cliff Top (15/2), Inherit The Rain (11/1), Evies First (11/1), First Origin (12/1), Smorgasbord (16/1), Teatro (20/1), Firealley (25/1), Jewel Cat (33/1)

Verdict

CRUISE CONTROL is the one to beat judged on the form book and shouldn't really be hard pressed. Inherit The Rain makes most appeal of the remainder, while Evies First can win the battle for minor honours.
