Forecasts

Var And Away (10/11), Rock Of Africa (4/1), Creation (6/1), Tiger's Rock (10/1), Ashbaal (12/1), Kings Archer (16/1), Grindelwald (16/1), Duke Of Swing (16/1), Undisclosed (22/1), Bold Matador (28/1), Brigtnumberten (50/1), Prince Jordan (66/1)

TIGER'S ROCK is in decent form right now and is the one they all have to beat. Rock Of Africa is probably the main danger, while Var And Away is also in the running for some place money at least.
