Forecasts

Ready Set Fire (11/4), Lonely As A Cloud (10/3), Ushouldbedancing (9/2), Time Will Tell (6/1), Magic Carpet Ride (15/2), Duchess Zahra (8/1), Daring Act (9/1), Sergeant Soqrat (10/1), Oriental Bouquet (12/1), Kylie's Angel (28/1), Ehhfifteenkjoe (40/1)

USHOULDBEDANCING has a healthy advantage formwise and has an obvious chance. Kylie's Angel can also play a leading part, while Ehhfifteenkjoe is also in the running for some place money at least.
