Forecasts

It's About Time (5/6), Paisley Park (9/4), Moonshiningthrough (9/4), Bard Of Avon (5/2), Gallic Chief (4/1), Danilo Danilovitch (11/2), Ballon D'or (9/1), Anytime Champ (20/1), Edward Longshanks (22/1)

GALLIC CHIEF has sound claims on form and is quite a confident pick. It's About Time might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
