Forecasts

Dawn Of A New Era (3/1), Global Ally (4/1), Eyjafjallajokull (4/1), Son Of Zeus (5/1), El Romiachi (13/2), Holy Orders (7/1), Indy View (8/1), Lord Varys (9/1), Queen's Wood (14/1), Slings And Arrows (18/1), Forest Spy (18/1), Paris Rix (18/1)

EYJAFJALLAJOKULL continues to run creditably and should make a bold show. Indy View has the best claims of the rest, while Paris Rix also requires scrutiny.
