Forecasts

Attorney General (2/1), Gold Rock (2/1), Sailing Lizard (4/1), Winter Chord (15/2), Duke Of Cards (10/1), Russian Prince (12/1), Norfolk Pine (14/1), Beethoven (22/1), Philos (25/1), Secret Dream (33/1), All The Sevens (50/1)

GOLD ROCK was the beaten market pick on his most recent run, but looks the one to be on once again. Duke Of Cards seems the leading threat, while Sailing Lizard looks another that has to be reckoned with.
