Forecasts

Bayberry (5/2), Azores (9/2), Tap O' Noth (13/2), Retro Effect (15/2), Holy Warrior (15/2), Flame Tree (15/2), Crome Yellow (8/1), Kampala Campari (14/1), Dharma (25/1), Man About Town (28/1), Meliora (40/1), Troop The Colour (66/1)

FLAME TREE is just about the best hope here. Bayberry is most likely the main danger, while Holy Warrior can win the battle for minor honours.
