Forecasts

Dark Tide (7/2), Inafix (4/1), The Navy Lark (6/1), Commander Of All (6/1), Life Goes On (6/1), Captain Efficient (13/2), Prized Platinum (8/1), Smelting (10/1), Samthewiseman (10/1)

Verdict

THE NAVY LARK looks to have marginally the best credentials but hasn't much room for error. Captain Efficient seems the most likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Smelting also requires a second look.

  1. The Navy Lark6/1
  2. Captain Efficient13/2
  3. Smelting10/1
