Forecasts

Tyrus Express (5/2), Lord Melbourne (10/3), Sell High (5/1), Our Man In Havana (13/2), Flash Burn (15/2), Psycho King (10/1), Ocean Forest (12/1), Spero Optima (14/1), Hellofaride (16/1), Rocky Path (16/1), Greek Fire (16/1), Nimcha (28/1)

ROCKY PATH has a little in hand getting weight from all his rivals. Greek Fire appeals most among the rest, while Tyrus Express shouldn't be discarded.
