Forecasts

Spielberg (9/4), Vartacus (5/2), Far Away Winter (5/2), Uncle Ticky Bird (4/1), Forever Free (9/1), Tanganga (10/1), Pendragon (10/1), Mayor Of Merrivale (16/1), Gone In Time (25/1), Captain Freedom (33/1), Duke Of Fire (33/1), Power Mad (33/1), Blackburn Jet (33/1), Tara Iti (33/1), Kite Surfer (50/1)

UNCLE TICKY BIRD has sound claims on form and is a major player. Spielberg makes most appeal of the others, while Vartacus is another with place prospects.
