Forecasts

Hanoi (7/2), Bizarre Dreams (5/1), La Juliana (13/2), Our Lil (7/1), Moutarde (15/2), Killeaney Bear (15/2), Gangster Granny (10/1), Newfire (10/1), Expecto (16/1), Butter Fingers (16/1), So Diligent (20/1), Private Officer (25/1), Dream Ticket (25/1), Tyder (28/1), Dreamline Amelia (33/1), Wonderwalk (40/1), Empress Alma (50/1), Highland Mist (50/1), The Expert (50/1), Del Posto (66/1)

A very open contest with HANOI the suggestion at the foot of the weights with a good-value claimer taking over. Bizarre Dreams has a bigger performance in her so she's on the shortlist, with Moutarde also of interest back up in distance.
