Forecasts

God Of Thunder (10/3), Prophet's Dream (7/2), Niarbyl Bay (8/1), Far Horizon (8/1), Gert Lush (12/1), Carp Kid (14/1), Golden Dove (14/1), Prince Ali (14/1), Further Measure (16/1), Ermin Street (16/1), Platinum Prince (16/1), Change Of Fortune (20/1), Zuraig (25/1), Satellite Call (28/1)

Preference is for NIARBYL BAY, who shaped with promise last year and appeals as the type to progress now switched to handicapping. Prophet's Dream and God of Thunder head the list of dangers.
