Forecasts

Duel In The Sun (1/3), Power Of Time (7/1), Rhyme Scheme (11/1), Real Terms (14/1), Calculus (14/1), Night Ranger (22/1), Big Muddy (40/1), Sweet Vinetta (40/1), Little Miss Moo (100/1), Tannadice Park (100/1), Panzertank (150/1)

DUEL IN THE SUN hasn't been seen since a very respectable debut when second at Newmarket back in the summer. A repeat of that performance should be too much for his rivals and further improvemnt can't be ruled out. Real Terms sprung a surprise last time when running well at Wolverhampton and may be the best alternative. Rhyme Scheme also catches the eye starting off for Mick Appleby.
