Forecasts

Professor Snape (4/1), Arverni King (4/1), Rock Fall (9/2), Tin Cup (5/1), Quantifier (13/2), Riccardo (13/2), Aerial Display (7/1), Catch The Tune (10/1), Cyber Time (14/1), Twice Golden (20/1), Tom Bombadil (25/1), Arrow's Mark (33/1), Twice As Perfect (50/1), Temperate Zone (50/1)

TIN CUP continues in form and should give backers a decent run for their money. Riccardo is probably the main threat, while Temperate Zone can win the battle for minor honours.
