Forecasts

Coastal Path (5/2), Champonelle (4/1), Smashing (5/1), Sound Of The Sea (6/1), Sweet And True (7/1), Cruzador (12/1), Captain Tik Tok (16/1), Charlie Malone (16/1), Barzalona (22/1), Ravilious (25/1), Grand Oasis (25/1), Jackson Misissippi (28/1), Notorix (33/1), Russian Empire (33/1), Lucky Spirit (33/1), World Pharoah (33/1), Anotherdayinafrica (33/1), Axel Collins (33/1), Aquila Gold (33/1)

SMASHING looks marginally the best of these but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Charlie Malone makes most appeal among the rest, while Sweet And True should also be considered.
