Forecasts

Sea Virescent (3/1), Spanish Boy (7/2), Crown Guardian (13/2), Rock Of Africa (15/2), Written In Stone (8/1), Fitzwilliam (8/1), Holy Man (11/1), State Trooper (11/1), Urban Rock (12/1), Certifiable (14/1), Rock The Globe (25/1), Last Of The Legend (33/1)

WRITTEN IN STONE looks marginally the pick of this bunch. Certifiable seems best of the rest, though Fitzwilliam isn't dismissed lightly.
