Forecasts

Splicethemainbrace (6/5), Anuschka's World (7/2), Forest Spy (7/2), Captain Tik Tok (7/1), Great Melody (8/1), Siberian Steel (12/1), European Summer (14/1), Funky Music (14/1), Lady Majorca (40/1)

ANUSCHKA'S WORLD looks marginally the best of these but can't afford for much to go wrong. Siberian Steel could have the most to offer of the remainder, while Great Melody is also an interesting runner.
