Forecasts

Putins Promise (10/3), Archimides (7/2), Avoontoast (7/1), Viva De Janeiro (7/1), Laughing William (7/1), Leeson (15/2), Clarkson (15/2), Sacambaya (10/1), Mocha Frappe (12/1), Eiger Sanction (14/1), Volte Face (20/1), Guardia Regine (25/1), Future Africa (25/1), Parker Getrix (28/1)

AVOONTOAST has leading claims. Leeson could emerge as the main threat, while Archimides has a good shout of a share of the minor money.
