Forecasts

Variety Island (9/2), Dark Side Thunder (11/2), Where's Diana (13/2), Ribtide (15/2), Just Another (15/2), Clodovea (8/1), International Boy (17/2), Eruption (10/1), Kendred Fire (10/1), Tiberio Smile (12/1), The Smull (18/1), Red How (33/1), Glory Hallelujah (50/1)

JUST ANOTHER has been running well on the AW in 2022 and assuming he's as effective on turf and over 6f, he could be the answer to this. Tim Easterby is responsible for Clodovea and Eruption and they look the main threats.
