Forecasts

Smashing (2/1), Just Var (5/2), In The Ether (5/1), Bregardt (11/2), Neerah (6/1), Twice As Wild (6/1), Beaded Gown (13/2), Fennec Fox (8/1), Circus Lights (12/1), Jet Cat (14/1), Delphi Dancer (20/1)

SMASHING looks to have marginally the best credentials but it promises to be touch and go. Twice As Wild has the best claims of the remainder, while Beaded Gown is also in the running for some place money at least.
