Forecasts

Guy Gibson (2/1), Banff (6/1), Black Egret (13/2), Night Bomber (13/2), Bob's Your Uncle (15/2), Passage Of Power (10/1), Richard The First (12/1), Chyavana (14/1), Tsar Bomba (16/1), Warm Winter Nite (18/1), Across The Pond (25/1), Halberdier (28/1), Jury's Out (28/1), Biofarmer (33/1), Esquevelle (40/1), Callmewhenuneedme (50/1)

BLACK EGRET got back on track on his latest run and is the one to catch. Warm Winter Nite has the strongest claims of the others, while Richard The First is another that should go well.
