Forecasts

Bowie (9/4), Theory Of Flight (7/2), Noble Striker (9/2), Nordic Rebel (6/1), Rock The Globe (7/1), Ballon D'or (8/1), Rock Of Africa (9/1), La Valliere (10/1), Sweet And Spicy (16/1), In Cahoots (20/1)

NORDIC REBEL has been running well and is probably the one to beat. Sweet And Spicy is most likely the primary challenger, while Theory Of Flight could also figure.
