Forecasts

Libeccio (9/4), Run For Cover (9/4), Carnelo (4/1), Viva De Janeiro (8/1), Green Sceptre (12/1), Light Of Day (14/1), Written In Stone (16/1), French Impact (16/1), Eiger Sanction (20/1), Skyfull (22/1), Masters Queen (50/1), Guy Alexander (50/1)

VIVA DE JANEIRO just about gets the nod but hasn't much room for error. Carnelo has to be feared, while Run For Cover is one to bear in mind as well.
