Forecasts

I'm Spartacus (4/1), Devil's Angel (4/1), Rattletheonionbag (9/2), My Girl Sioux (9/2), Jackie Brown (5/1), Cross Border (15/2), Jazzy Dancer (10/1), Senado Square (10/1), Crystal Luna (14/1), Step Back In Time (25/1), Finito Bonito (25/1), Sister Lola (33/1), Tai Sing Yeh (40/1), Conversant (66/1), Sophia Klimt (80/1)

This is wide open but RATTLETHEONIONBAG signalled he's ready to strike when a very good recent C&D runner-up so looks the way to go. Jackie Brown and I'm Spartacus both arrive in good nick and can chase home the selection in that order. Crystal Luna completes the shortlist.
