Forecasts

To The Hilt (11/4), Destiny's Angel (4/1), Pedro (4/1), Ticking Bomb (4/1), Catch Your Breath (9/2), Nothingelsematters (15/2), Launch Code (8/1), Caramel Fudge (11/1), Specmagic (12/1), On The Guest List (28/1), Mo Flow (50/1), Legal Chitchat (50/1)

SPECMAGIC is in a good spell of form and has fair claims. Nothingelsematters seems best of the rest, while On The Guest List is another to bear in mind.
