Forecasts

Sound Of Summer (6/4), Forever Mine (11/4), Donald Mcdonald (11/2), Chijmes (11/2), Cornish Pomodoro (12/1), Pack Leader (12/1), Expressfromtheus (14/1), Saragon (20/1), Ballet Shoes (33/1)

FOREVER MINE's recent runs have been likeable on the whole and he has a fair chance. Donald McDonald is the rational second option, while Sound Of Summer is perhaps the most interesting of those left.
