Forecasts

Global Drummer (1/1), Inherit The Rain (4/1), Evies First (17/2), Brass Bell (14/1), Green Light Gal (14/1), Regimental (16/1), Blingking (16/1), What A Winner (20/1), Cruzador (22/1), Alpha Pappa (22/1), Ivalo's Prince (22/1), Captain Morisco (25/1), Al Qaasim (25/1), Van Gogh (33/1)

INHERIT THE RAIN's recent efforts have been likeable on the whole and he has a fair chance. Evies First is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Global Drummer could also get a look-in.
