Forecasts

Run For Cover (4/6), Feel All Right (10/3), Nazare (8/1), Van Meijel (11/1), Arividicio (11/1), Trippis Tune (11/1), Written In Stone (20/1), Putins Promise (22/1), Guardia Regine (22/1), Count Your Chances (28/1), Prince Of Kildare (33/1), Iron Sky (33/1)

RUN FOR COVER just about appeals most but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Van Meijel can get the better of the others for second, while Feel All Right can win the battle for minor honours.
