Forecasts

Never Never Land (3/1), Heal And Soul (3/1), Father Christmas (3/1), Oklahoma Smokeshow (5/1), Longsword (7/1), Aquarius (17/2), Unsolved Riddle (12/1), Sunset Warrior (18/1), Sigrid Swing (18/1), Millennium Warrior (28/1), Blaze A Way (66/1)

LONGSWORD is just about the best hope here taking everything into account in receipt of weight all round. Father Christmas could be the biggest threat, while Oklahoma Smokeshow is one to bear in mind too.
