Forecasts

Sea The Polaris (8/11), Thor's Hammer (13/8), Robbies Rock (17/2), Kool One (16/1), Nans View (25/1), Beyond Your Dreams (25/1), Butter Fingers (33/1), Crest Of The Moon (100/1), The Expert (125/1), Veil Dance (125/1)

Provided he copes with this drop back in trip, SEA THE POLARIS could be the answer. Thor's Hammer is clear second choice, while newcomer Robbies Rock is most interesting of the remainder.
