Forecasts

Blame It On Me (2/1), Astronomical Boy (9/4), Lotus Silk (7/2), Rooster Bradshaw (15/2), King Viserys (17/2), Tripping Thunder (11/1), Cian The Conqueror (22/1), Streisand (33/1)

Verdict

LOTUS SILK just about appeals most in this field but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Blame It On Me is the most pragmatic second option, while Astronomical Boy can't be ruled out of it either.

  1. Lotus Silk7/2
  2. Blame It On Me2/1
  3. Astronomical Boy9/4
