Forecasts

Calantha (7/4), Connery (3/1), Kalahari Roller (15/2), Licence To Thrill (8/1), Good Traveller (8/1), Cabinet Shuffle (17/2), Bourbon Warrior (9/1), Smorgasbord (14/1), My Golly Molly (28/1), Kumemori (40/1), Linkin Navigator (40/1)

Verdict

CALANTHA looks the one to be with, albeit narrowly but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Licence To Thrill is most likely the sternest opposition, while Connery is in the running for a share of the minor money.
