Forecasts

Mountain High (11/4), Palace Dancer (7/2), Tried And True (7/2), Cape Lights (9/2), Wings Within Me (8/1), Pointer (8/1), Happy Mo (10/1), Hillary Step (14/1), Alesia's Love (20/1), Way To Burn (22/1)

MOUNTAIN HIGH quickly put an underwhelming run aside last time out and will take all the beating. Pointer is top of the dangers, while Palace Dancer might well have a say too.
