Forecasts

Absolutely Yes (2/1), What A Fortune (11/4), Scottish Kiss (9/2), Nordic Chief (11/2), Objet D' Art (11/2), Oliver (10/1), King Regent (10/1), Masterofthedesert (28/1)

OBJET D' ART got back on track last time out and is a major player. Nordic Chief could be the one to capitalise if the selection underperforms, while Scottish Kiss might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
