Forecasts

Picture The Moment (2/1), Modern Magician (3/1), Arverni Warrior (10/3), Bethel (6/1), Knave Of Diamonds (11/1), Mr Bodacious (12/1), High Legislation (16/1), Granddaddy Purple (20/1), Absolu Noir (25/1), South East (40/1), Emerald Flame (40/1)

BETHEL was the beaten market choice last time out, but looks worth another chance. Arverni Warrior shouldn't be too far away either, while Knave Of Diamonds is another with place prospects too.
