Forecasts

Silver Dazzle (7/2), Retail Therapy (4/1), Brunilda (6/1), Fort Royal (7/1), Sofia Erin (8/1), Florence (8/1), Sweetscentedgreen (17/2), Yaas (9/1), Fire Faerie (14/1), Sanskrift (14/1), My Wicked Ways (14/1), Miss Charlotte (25/1), Rock To The Music (28/1), Astute Vision (33/1)

BRUNILDA's recent efforts have been likeable on the whole and she will probably take the beating. Sofia Erin rates the main danger, while Fort Royal also commands a second look.
