Forecasts

Silver Operator (5/2), Guru's Pride (3/1), Mount Anderson (11/2), Tristful (17/2), Myhopesanddreams (17/2), Trip To Africa (11/1), News Stream (14/1), Mary O (16/1), Baby Shooz (22/1), Pearl Of Asia (25/1), Priceless Ruler (28/1), Wealthy (66/1)

TRIP TO AFRICA can give all these something to think about. Guru's Pride seems the most likely to capitalise if the selection fails to deliver, while Baby Shooz can win the battle for minor honours.
