Forecasts

Safe Passage (15/8), Aragosta (9/2), Outofthedarkness (5/1), Zeus (7/1), Pyromaniac (15/2), Red Saxon (14/1), William Robertson (20/1), Captain Lannister (25/1), Platinum Sky (25/1), Super Excited (28/1), Picture Perfect (33/1)

CAPTAIN LANNISTER looks to have been found a very good opportunity, if not troubled by this different trip. William Robertson could be the chief danger, while Safe Passage is another to bear in mind.
