Forecasts

Rainwater (7/2), Star Pupil (4/1), Ocean Odyssey (9/2), Forever Proud (7/1), Palazzo Persico (9/1), Meet Me In Meraki (10/1), Renesmee (10/1), Arenas Del Tiempo (12/1), Twilight Guest (14/1), Cerulean Summer (18/1), Mc'ted (18/1), Alvesta (50/1), Rainbow Sign (80/1)

It could be worth chancing OCEAN ODYSSEY, who caught the eye at Kempton last time and looks just the type his yard can place to advantage at some point this winter. Forever Proud and Star Pupil head the dangers.
