Forecasts

Feast Of Berries (5/2), Sword Of Light (11/4), Heavenly Good (4/1), Alta Capitana (6/1), Xtatic (9/1), Top Shelf Teddy (9/1), Glamorous Lady (10/1), Sikeloi (20/1), Mount Etna (25/1), Winter Wedding (25/1)

SWORD OF LIGHT appeals most of these on the back of a career-best C&D success 2 weeks ago and earns the vote. Alta Capitana likely poses the biggest threat, while Heavenly Good is also fancied to make the placings.
