Forecasts

Tangled (9/4), Barshaa (9/4), Perfect Swiss (3/1), Ghost Rider (7/2), Irv (7/2), Coul Kat (7/1), Just Hiss (8/1), Natchez Trace (10/1), Velma (12/1), Ledham (25/1), Destroyer (50/1)

JUST HISS hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently, but he has the ideal draw and has slipped to an appealing mark, so he's worth chancing back under a promising apprentice. Most of the others, like the selection, have questions to answer, but the unexposed Barshaa looks a player along with Coul Kat, who scored on his only previous try over C&D.
