Forecasts

Swiss Walt (11/8), Final Edition (7/4), Grey Smoke (4/1), Ubisika (7/1), Fujisan (12/1), This Time Round (25/1), Legal Thriller (28/1), He's A Gaul (33/1)

SWISS WALT is the one to beat judged on the form book and is difficult to oppose. Grey Smoke gets the nod among the others, while Final Edition is another that should go well.
