Forecasts

Berkshire Whisper (30/100), Alone Mehmas (13/2), Middleton View (15/2), Sands Of Havana (14/1), Havana Joy (25/1), Time After Time (100/1), Rebel Cove (250/1)

BERKSHIRE WHISPER shaped well when runner-up over C&D on her debut and is hard to side against with progress very much on the cards. Newcomers Havana Joy (second choice) and Alone Mehmas are both in good hands and could emerge as the main dangers, especially if the market vibes are positive.
