Forecasts

Hightimeyouwon (11/4), Perfect Judgement (10/3), Imperial Dream (11/2), Punk Poet (8/1), No More Porter (10/1), Whispersinthewind (11/1), Benavente (11/1), Current Option (14/1), Black Storm (14/1), Ransom (40/1)

A case can be made for plenty of these but HIGHTIMEYOUWON rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his very good second here last time out so edges the vote. Course specialist Punk Poet heads the list of dangers, with Perfect Judgement, No More Porter and Imperial Dream all well in the mix too.
