Forecasts

Ticket To Ride (11/4), Lion's Head (3/1), Jean's Man (5/1), Brandenburg (6/1), Giacomo Puccini (8/1), Gimme Aces (9/1), Regimental (14/1), Fateful (14/1), Alaskan Night (22/1), Matthew The King (22/1), Wadi Rum (25/1), Spy (33/1)

FATEFUL looks the one to be on if reproducing his most recent effort and sets the bar high. Brandenburg could be the biggest danger, while Wadi Rum is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the field.
