Forecasts

Secret Is Ours (11/4), About To Storm (3/1), Earl (3/1), Have A Go Jo (12/1), Kool Baikal (14/1), Humble Tune (14/1), Blue Moon City (16/1), Madabout Fashion (18/1), Clarkson (18/1), Grimaldi (22/1), Rule Book (22/1), Indian War Dance (22/1), Kings Cup (22/1), Rock The Globe (33/1)

EARL is just about the pick in this field. Have A Go Jo seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while Indian War Dance comes into calculations for minor honours.
