Forecasts

Pendragon (2/1), Warm Winter Nite (10/3), Fennec Fox (9/2), Life Goes On (11/2), Inafix (6/1), Delphi Dancer (8/1), Dark Tide (9/1), The Navy Lark (12/1)

THE NAVY LARK just about gets the nod in this company. Pendragon also makes the shortlist, while Fennec Fox is perhaps the most interesting other runner.
