Forecasts

Walled Garden (2/1), Munchkin (3/1), Raining Rubies (8/1), Lulu's Boy (17/2), Samoa (9/1), After Hours (9/1), Coppola (16/1), Cityscape (20/1), Priceless (20/1), Circus Lights (20/1), Dancing Dora (22/1), Mescal (22/1), Phala Millions (25/1), Sakhala Is'cathulo (33/1), Sail The Sky (33/1), Knockemstiff (50/1)

AFTER HOURS looks marginally the pick of this bunch. Walled Garden has to come into the equation too, while Dancing Dora is another to note.
