Forecasts

Mary Read (7/4), Sneak Preview (11/4), Annewithan E (5/1), Have A Party (11/2), Free In Seattle (6/1), Lady Sabrina (8/1), Silver Parasol (17/2), Arctic Vixen (10/1), Gloria Mundi (12/1), Party Punch (14/1), Vermacilli (22/1), Pretty In Pearls (33/1), Go Dream Machine (50/1), Ambitious Lady (66/1)

SILVER PARASOL is in a good run of form and seems the one they have to beat. Free In Seattle can also play a major part, while Sneak Preview can't be ruled out of things either.
