Forecasts

Iced Marmalade (1/1), River Fern (9/4), Warrior's Sword (9/2), Timeline (5/1), Good Shine (13/2), French Romance (8/1), Kingsboy (14/1), World Soprano (16/1), Top Dollar (50/1)

RIVER FERN formwise is a fair way in front of these and tops the shortlist. French Romance arguably sets the standard among the rest, while Timeline is another that should go well.
