Forecasts

Pure Predator (7/4), Max The Magician (11/4), Main Defender (7/1), Real Relief (7/1), French Impact (7/1), Fire 'n Flames (8/1), Longsword (10/1), Bom Bom (12/1), Linkin Navigator (14/1), Just Var (22/1), Purple Pitcher (33/1), Prince Of Kildare (50/1)

REAL RELIEF just about gets the nod in this line up and has fair claims. Fire 'N Flames is given the vote for second, while Pure Predator comes into calculations for third place.
