Forecasts

Global Drummer (11/8), Speed Machine (5/1), Inherit The Rain (6/1), Pleasedtomeetyou (7/1), Joyful Noise (7/1), Whatever Next (9/1), Fly My Flag (14/1), Regimental (40/1), Christopher Robin (80/1)

GLOBAL DRUMMER has decent claims but it promises to be touch and go. Whatever Next could be the hardest opposition, while Inherit The Rain can't be ruled out.
