Forecasts

Smiddyburn (3/1), Gale Warning (7/2), River Fern (6/1), World Soprano (8/1), Alesian Beau (8/1), Timeline (8/1), O Space O (12/1), Miss Mackie (12/1), Elusive Bomba (12/1), Good Shine (20/1), Mediterraneanflame (100/1)

Verdict

TIMELINE's overall form just puts her out in front and she shades preference over Elusive Bomba who looks the best bet for second. River Fern can't be ruled out either.
