Forecasts

Marine Nationale (4/6), Follow The Brave (2/1), My Gaffer (9/2), Watergrangedreamer (50/1), Smallcraftwarning (66/1)

MARINE NATIONALE was highly impressive on debut and there could be a lot more to come, so he's marginally preferred to Follow The Brave, another emphatic winner on his latest outing. My Gaffer gets weight from that pair but doesn't have quite the same potential.
