Forecasts

Trombolines (5/4), Ariovistus (11/4), Gran Canaria (5/1), Olympian Gold (7/1), Texas Missile (9/1), Master Christmas (14/1), The Africa House (22/1), Birthright (33/1)

GRAN CANARIA just about gets the nod in this field. Ariovistus makes most appeal of the remainder, while Master Christmas also demands consideration.
