Forecasts

This Songisforyou (2/7), Expound (4/1), Nostringsattached (6/1), Awqaat (11/1), Just Delayed (12/1), Indulging (25/1), Penny Jar (25/1), Boots And Jeans (80/1), Mr Sundancer (80/1)

This is short of THIS SONGISFORYOU's optimum trip but he's very likely to get away with it in a race lacking strength in depth. Nostringsttached and Expound look set to chase the selection home.
