Forecasts

Gimmeanotherchance (5/4), Guy Gibson (15/8), Fire 'n Flames (8/1), Purple Pitcher (12/1), Biofarmer (18/1), The Africa House (18/1), Zinovi (20/1), Falcon Strike (20/1), Mk's Dreams (22/1), Viva Spirit (22/1), Mastership (33/1), Royal Edition (40/1)

GIMMEANOTHERCHANCE should be in the mix but it's an open race. Guy Gibson is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Fire 'N Flames is also in the running for some place money at least.
