Forecasts

North Star (15/8), Happy Wives (4/1), Smashing (5/1), Winteronthegreen (5/1), Iced Marmalade (7/1), Iconic Winter (7/1), Paradise Way (17/2), Jet Set Run (12/1), Cape Capri (12/1), Stu's Girl (28/1), String Of Lights (40/1), Dynasty's Last (100/1)

NORTH STAR's recent efforts have been likeable on the whole and is the one they all have to beat. Smashing could emerge as the main danger, while Happy Wives looks another that has to be reckoned with.
