Forecasts

Rafa Bay (9/4), Espinoza (4/1), Gimmethegoodlife (5/1), African Prince (5/1), Plus Four (6/1), Black Egret (15/2), Rollwiththepunches (11/1), Address The Nation (20/1), Halberdier (25/1)

AFRICAN PRINCE should make a bold show. Rollwiththepunches is fancied as the best alternative, while Rafa Bay could also get a look-in.
