Forecasts

Verdict

Not an easy race to assess on the face of it, with MON PARRAIN and Bivouac the best on official ratings and the latter gets the vote in the hope that he retains some of the ability that has him on an official mark of 134 going into this. Bivouac's stamina is a concern and the same applies to Poole Master. Glint Of Steel, Grandturgeon and War Path are all interesting contenders, with the first-named particularly so if supported after a very long absence.
