Forecasts

Master Christmas (15/8), Officer In Command (2/1), Global Reef (7/1), Rock Of Bismantova (8/1), Eiger Sanction (8/1), Commander Of All (11/1), Williamson (16/1), Majestic Palace (25/1), Dream State (40/1), Notarbartolo (40/1), Nkandla Gold (50/1), Kamala Hill (50/1), Royal Albert (50/1), American Spirit (50/1), Phala Millions (66/1), Mister Monk (66/1), Ragamuffin (66/1)

OFFICER IN COMMAND looks to have just about the best credentials but will need to be on song. Master Christmas may be the one for second, while Eiger Sanction isn't out of it either.
