Forecasts

Red Island (6/4), Be Proud (7/2), Micronize (5/1), Fast Endeavour (10/1), Picture Poet (10/1), No Diggity (14/1), The Numismatist (14/1), Saedi Shaahd (14/1), Haadhir (16/1), Capala (25/1), Fanny Grand (33/1)

The standard from those with form comes from Red Island, albeit it doesn't appear a lofty one and he could be vulnerable to a decent newcomer. BE PROUD might be the answer for the Hannon given the speed input in his pedigree. That is enough to sway the nod in his direction over Micronize, who want a bit further than this.
