Forecasts

Tintin (2/1), Drivelikeamaster (9/4), Bjorn Ironside (5/2), Father Christmas (5/2), Zip Code (4/1), Got The Feeling (5/1), World Heritage (33/1)

BJORN IRONSIDE stands out in this line up ao assuming he sees it out over this longer trip, he looks the answer. Drivelikeamaster could emerge as the main danger, while Zip Code also merits respect.
