Forecasts

Plum Pudding (5/2), Summer Night City (7/2), Hampstead Heath (9/2), Coulditbe (5/1), Basic Maneuvers (5/1), Cattaleya (5/1), Heliotrope (10/1), Lickety Split (12/1), Green Isle (14/1), Born Ready (33/1)

LICKETY SPLIT has been in decent form of late and just about sets the standard. Summer Night City could be the sternest opposition, while Cattaleya is one to bear in mind as well.
