Forecasts

Spanish Kiss (9/4), Where's Tom (3/1), Party Island (4/1), Ravens Ark (9/2), Marion's Boy (11/1), Retrospect (12/1), Dolphin Vista (50/1), Derek Duval (150/1), Sherpa Trail (150/1)

WHERE'S TOM pulled clear of the remainder when narrowly denied over C&D last time and can make amends in the finale. Spanish Kiss and Party Island rate the principal dangers.
