Forecasts

Licence To Thrill (13/8), Soho Star (9/4), Icy Blast (4/1), Quandary (13/2), Convocation (7/1), Rainbow Reward (7/1), Mojo Man (8/1), Apex Predator (12/1)

CONVOCATION's recent starts have had a lot to like about them and he sets the bar, albeit not too high. Apex Predator could provide the chief threat, while Rainbow Reward is another that should go well.
