Forecasts

Sweet Kiss (3/1), Hibernate (7/2), Charencey (4/1), Ottoman (9/2), Spring Chorus (5/1), Unplugged (10/1), Must Believe (10/1), Versatile (28/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but SWEET KISS wasn't seen to ideal effect when fourth at Carlisle recently and edges the vote from Must Believe and Charencey who can chase home Tim Easterby's filly in that order. Unplugged completes the shortlist.
