Forecasts

Siberian Steel (8/15), Tayooba (9/4), Pendragon (10/3), Smelting (17/2), Fulliautomatix (10/1), In The Ether (10/1), Happy Analia (14/1), Clean Living (16/1), Mandalay (20/1), Flying Broomstick (22/1), Above The World (25/1)

HAPPY ANALIA is selected rather gingerly but it promises to be touch and go. Siberian Steel arguably sets the standard among the rest, while Pendragon is another with place prospects too.
