Forecasts

Ariovistus (3/1), Jet A One (7/2), Kwite A King (5/1), Ahead Of The Facts (11/2), Repetition (7/1), Heliotrope (7/1), Noble Hero (9/1), Wood World (12/1), Professor Snape (20/1), Tothemoonandback (25/1)

HELIOTROPE has been operating at a good level lately and is much the one to aim at. Noble Hero is probably the sternest opposition, while Kwite A King is in the running for a share of the minor money.
