Forecasts

Vamanos (11/4), Cape Saffron (3/1), Princess Ilaria (9/2), Mountain High (11/2), Lady Blunt (11/2), Arashi (13/2), Princess Keira (7/1), Fair Proposal (14/1)

PRINCESS KEIRA holds good claims on the back of a good recent C&D third and shades preference over progressive 4-y-o Vamanos. Lady Blunt can't be ruled out of things either.
