Forecasts

French Trip (5/2), Red William (5/2), Blackberry Breeze (9/2), Lucretius (11/2), Quantifier (11/2), The Mikado (6/1), Dontstopmenow (17/2), Allaroundtheworld (10/1), Roy's Rocker (40/1)

RED WILLIAM has been in decent form of late and has a fair chance. Blackberry Breeze is hard to ignore if looking elsewhere, while French Trip shouldn't be ruled out.
