Forecasts

Annie's Song (15/8), Thought Control (5/2), Sovereign Gem (9/2), Heavenly Mafia (6/1), Tipperary (15/2), Lemon Thyme (10/1), Hollywood Heiress (16/1), Magical Spring (20/1), Roy's Blossom (22/1), Ada Lovelace (25/1), Baltic Assayer (28/1), Princess Charmer (80/1), Bookworm (80/1)

THOUGHT CONTROL is running well enough to take this but hasn't much room for error. Heavenly Mafia seems the leading threat, while Tipperary might be worth siding with for third.
