Forecasts

Honest Desire (13/8), Kodiac Thriller (3/1), Balon D'or (5/1), Western (13/2), Biographer (8/1), I'm Spartacus (22/1), Free As A Bird (22/1)

WESTERN improved when runner-up over C&D a month ago and has the scope to do better still, so he takes marginal preference over Honest Desire, who finished well from a poor position in the same race last time. Kodiac Thriller is also of interest and some sort of case can be made for all of the others.
