Forecasts

Smoky Mountain (3/1), Local Music (4/1), All Agleam (9/2), G'daay (11/2), Rascal Recknell (13/2), Ultramarine (17/2), Mr Baloo (14/1), Revolutionise (16/1), Bengurion (22/1), Dimsons (25/1), Rhythmic Acclaim (40/1)

Given how easy ULTRAMARINE cruised to the front, then readily asserted at Wolverhampton 13 days ago, he's worth a chance to defy a rise at the possible expense of the bang-in-form All Agleam, who may not have reached her limit yet. Local Music also deserves respect.
