Forecasts

Policy Of Truth (11/10), Tyson The Brave (5/2), Viva Spirit (4/1), Heart Of Thieves (8/1), Breath Of Magic (10/1), Right Turn On Red (14/1), Viva Brazil (18/1), Exhale (20/1), Sky On Fire (50/1), Hunting Ground (50/1), Eiger Sanction (66/1)

TYSON THE BRAVE looks marginally the pick of this bunch but has little margin for error. Policy Of Truth is taken to chase the selection home, while Breath Of Magic also commands respect.
