Forecasts

Radicchio (9/4), Holding Thumbs (5/2), Master Of Paris (10/3), Mont Loisir (6/1), Das Gute (10/1), Greenland (14/1), Join The Dots (14/1), Prince Of Tibet (28/1), Noon Day Gun (33/1), Avignon (33/1), All About Ronnie (40/1)

MONT LOISIR's overall form just gives him the edge but it's open. Master Of Paris is hard to ignore if looking elsewhere, while Avignon merits respect also.
