Forecasts

Brave Viking (4/5), Mo The Man (11/4), Radu (3/1), Broadway (7/2), Raptor Island (9/2), Carnelo (14/1), Global Heart (14/1), Diplomaticimmunity (20/1), Celtic Rush (20/1), Maith An Cailin (28/1), Smart Pomodoro (33/1), Destinationunknown (40/1)

RADU is selected rather gingerly in an open race. Mo The Man should be involved at the business end too, while Brave Viking isn't dismissed lightly.
