Forecasts

State Capitol (9/4), English Mistress (3/1), Charlotte Bronte (4/1), National Disgrace (5/1), Lucky Thirteen (5/1), Wehaveasituation (6/1), Sansa Stark (7/1), Lavender Bay (9/1), Blind Faith (12/1), Dymondia (25/1), Verdant Views (28/1), Opera Verse (66/1)

WEHAVEASITUATION has been hard to fault in recent runs and will probably take the beating. Lucky Thirteen can emerge best of the remainder, while English Mistress shouldn't be far away either.
