Forecasts

Stars In Heaven (11/4), Tambourine Man (9/2), Guarding The Wall (6/1), Approach Shot (13/2), Prankster (13/2), Moonacres (7/1), Otis The Brave (11/1), In The Bag (11/1), Salute The Flag (14/1), Tokyo Tower (18/1), Aspect (20/1), Champagne Mac (33/1), William's Legacy (50/1), The Joker (50/1), Patrick's One (66/1), Come On You Spurs (66/1), Mcenroe (80/1)

PRANKSTER is quite tough to fault and should give it a good go. Guarding The Wall is the rational second option, while Approach Shot is another with a place chance too.
