Forecasts

Bard Of Avon (9/4), Alesian Chief (5/2), Kwite A Trip (13/2), Invidia (8/1), Battle Force (9/1), Winter Stories (10/1), Bold Ransom (10/1), Sheela (14/1), Anna Capri (18/1), Gallic Princess (25/1), Mind Reader (25/1), Vars Vicky (25/1), Singforafa (28/1), Rapid Fire (66/1)

INVIDIA is running creditably and should make a bold show. Kwite A Trip is feared most, while Alesian Chief might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
