Forecasts

Good Traveller (10/3), Mr Master Starter (4/1), Mexican Pete (9/2), Kupholiwe (15/2), Master Josh (8/1), Quandary (17/2), Shanta's Pride (10/1), Thisiswhatitmeans (10/1), Common Grounds (11/1), Cabinet Shuffle (11/1), Smorgasbord (16/1), Tread Swiftly (20/1)

MR MASTER STARTER appeals best of these by a narrow margin but it promises to be touch and go. Shanta's Pride can also play a leading role, while Smorgasbord might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
