Forecasts

The Contractor (10/11), Dark Tide (11/2), Indy Go (7/1), Nordic Rebel (15/2), Waqaas (8/1), Category Four (12/1), Captain Of Tortuga (18/1), Down To Zero (20/1), Virginia (20/1), Dan The Lad (25/1), Skiminac (50/1)

NORDIC REBEL's recent runs have been likeable on the whole and he is much the one to aim at. Indy Go could be the biggest danger, while Category Four comes into calculations for third place.
