Forecasts

Unicorn Alert (11/8), Givethatmanabells (5/1), Secret Passage (5/1), Sail To The Moon (11/2), Marvel William (7/1), In The Bag (7/1), Circumbendibus (9/1), Hiawatha Goldberg (16/1), Across The Bow (18/1), Walk With Me (33/1)

UNICORN ALERT looks to have marginally the best credentials. Hiawatha Goldberg is chief among the dangers, while Across The Bow is another with place prospects too.
