Forecasts

Naxos (15/8), Burglar (11/4), Terwada (3/1), Austrian Theory (4/1), Soto Sizzler (6/1), Percy Shelley (8/1), Bizarre Law (14/1)

NAXOS is on the up and might get his own way in front, so he's preferred to Terwada (engaged Newmarket Saturday) who shaped nicely in a competitive event at York last time. Burglar is another one with potential and a case can be made for all of the remainder.
