Forecasts

Overnight Oats (1/1), Paradoxical (7/2), Masqool (11/2), Under Fox (12/1), Celebrating Ethel (16/1), I Can't Believe (18/1), Mr Trick (18/1), Mykonos St John (28/1), James Park Woods (80/1), Ballet Blanc (150/1)

OVERNIGHT OATS is thriving right now and can complete the 5-timer. Under Fox is well treated and can chase him home, while Mr Trick isn't without hope, either.
