Forecasts

Aragosta (11/4), Supreme Warrior (10/3), William Robertson (9/2), Safe Passage (13/2), Red Saxon (9/1), Prince Of Fire (11/1), Outofthedarkness (14/1), Super Excited (16/1), Pyromaniac (25/1), Val D'orcia (25/1), Hasta Manana (40/1)

WILLIAM ROBERTSON formwise is a fair way in front of these and can't really be ignored. Prince Of Fire could be the answer to second place, while Val D'orcia looks best of the rest.
