Forecasts

Professor Snape (3/1), Aurora Storm (4/1), Exceeder (15/2), Cyber Time (8/1), Bayview Express (9/1), Release Me (10/1), Arverni King (10/1), Radicchio (11/1), Lucretius (11/1), Sequoia (12/1), Blazing Kiss (16/1), Pirate Prince (25/1), Temperate Zone (33/1)

BAYVIEW EXPRESS is some way clear on form and is going to be tough to beat. Cyber Time is another who could have a big say, while Exceeder has place claims.
