Forecasts

Jet Force (5/2), King's Quest (7/2), Crowned Hornbill (7/2), Trippi's Silk (4/1), Escarpment (5/1), Circumbendibus (9/1), Elsinore (10/1), Piroshka (16/1), Palace Gift (22/1), Green Planet (22/1), Billy Cool (33/1), Shifting Path (33/1), Das Gute (33/1), Mighty Mac (40/1), Dawn's Early Light (40/1)

TRIPPI'S SILK is selected rather gingerly but has little margin for error. Piroshka seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while Jet Force is one to bear in mind too.
