Forecasts

Sharlanda (10/3), Blixt (10/3), Thanks For Tea (4/1), Lilywhite Gesture (9/2), Pat's Pearl (5/1), Sweet Shirleen (12/1), Maureen's Star (25/1), Rock On Rosie (25/1)

This could be a tactical affair as there is little to split Sharlanda and Blixt on paper and both are entitled to plenty of respect. However, LILLYWHITE GESTURE doesn't have too much to find and edges the nomination as a more sporting option.
