Forecasts

Captain's Ransom (2/1), Big Burn (3/1), Under Your Spell (5/1), Sound Of Warning (10/1), True To Life (11/1), Full Velocity (14/1), Santa Maria (20/1), Gallic Princess (28/1), Gimme Dat (28/1), Capitana (33/1), Mercury Rising (40/1), Winter Smoke (40/1), Favorita (50/1), Midnight Gem (50/1), Vihaan's Pie (80/1)

BIG BURN formwise is well in advance of these and shouldn't really be hard pressed. True To Life is chosen to complete for the forecast, while Captain's Ransom can win the battle for minor honours.
