Forecasts

Rafiki (11/4), Mister Nibbles (4/1), Sweeper Keeper (5/1), Nightjar (5/1), Bom Bom (6/1), Brass Bell (7/1), Stevie Gee (12/1), Lake Como (12/1), Forest Jump (16/1), Pongola (16/1), Copper John (20/1), Drogarati (33/1)

MISTER NIBBLES just about looks the one to be with but it's open. Stevie Gee can come out best of the rest, while Bom Bom edges things for third.
