Forecasts

Solar Aclaim (13/8), Fantasy Master (6/1), Hiya Maite (7/1), Ecclesiastical (15/2), Stash The Cash (15/2), Blind Beggar (8/1), Woolhampton (12/1), Never Dark (16/1), Navello (28/1)

The in-form SOLAR ACLAIM gets the vote with conditions in his favour. Navello also arrives at the top of his game and is next best ahead of Ecclesiastical.
