Forecasts

Pirate Prince (11/4), Dontstopmenow (4/1), Arverni King (11/2), Cyber Time (13/2), El Rey Viene (15/2), Rock Fall (15/2), Quantifier (10/1), Juan Carlos (11/1), News Stream (16/1), Paris Pike (25/1), Twice Golden (33/1), Tom Bombadil (33/1)

NEWS STREAM has obvious claims if not inconvenienced by this new trip. Pirate Prince could have the most to offer of the remainder, while Cyber Time shouldn't be far away.
