Forecasts

Smashing (7/4), Swiss Paradise (7/2), Hugsandhighfives (4/1), Perfect Trust (9/2), Free World (7/1), Komesans Passion (7/1), Kilmonivaig (11/1), Pomodoro Magic (11/1), Mediteraneangoddes (14/1), City Of Dreams (20/1), True Design (33/1), Pink Moon (40/1), Dakota Cat (50/1)

SMASHING has been running well and should give backers a run for their money. Perfect Trust seems the most likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Hugsandhighfives can win the battle for minor honours.
