Forecasts

Pomodoro's Jet (5/4), Radicchio (7/2), The Africa House (7/1), Argo Alley (8/1), Captainofthegreen (8/1), Wyzeact (9/1), Jury's Out (16/1), Player (16/1), Miss Hannigan (16/1), Willow Express (18/1), My Lady Soul (20/1), Fully Loaded (40/1), Open Highway (80/1), Ikigai (80/1)

MISS HANNIGAN looks to have just about the best credentials but hasn't much room for error. Captainofthegreen can also play a major part, while My Lady Soul could also figure.
