Forecasts

Don't Look Back (11/4), African Adventure (3/1), Tyrus Express (7/2), Odd Rob (6/1), Chitengo (14/1), Smoking Hot (14/1), Imperial Ruby (16/1), Lord Silverio (18/1), Out Of Your League (22/1), Dawn Assault (33/1), Kings Cup (40/1), Glider Pilot (40/1)

AFRICAN ADVENTURE just about looks the one to be with but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Odd Rob gets the nod among the remainder, while Tyrus Express might well have a say as well.
