Forecasts

Field Marshal (3/1), Shoot The Rapids (3/1), Blackberry Malt (10/3), Holding Thumbs (7/2), Twenty Drachma's (14/1), Marauding Horde (14/1), Future Swing (16/1), Duke Of Africa (66/1)

Verdict

BLACKBERRY MALT looks to have more or less the best credentials but can't afford for much to go wrong. Twenty Drachma's seems the principal danger, while Field Marshal is another that merits respect.

  1. Blackberry Malt10/3
  2. Twenty Drachma's14/1
  3. Field Marshal3/1
