Forecasts

Bristol Hercules (2/1), Infrared (3/1), Oliver (5/1), Oriental Charm (6/1), Trippi's Silk (6/1), Faire Advantage (12/1), Escarpment (14/1), Unicorn Alert (16/1), Fibonacci (18/1), Gypsy Express (40/1)

OLIVER is in a good run of form and seems likely to take the beating. Faire Advantage has the best credentials of the remainder, while Fibonacci looks third best.
