Forecasts

Outofthedarkness (11/4), Perfect Witness (4/1), Astrix (9/2), Irish Tractor (5/1), Zeus (11/2), Super Silvano (7/1), Bard Of Avon (9/1), Ultra Magnus (20/1), Cornish Pomodoro (20/1), Pamushana's Pride (33/1)

IRISH TRACTOR looks the one to be with. Outofthedarkness is difficult to ignore, while Super Silvano might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
