Forecasts

Sudden Star (2/1), Fort Agopian (11/4), Al's My Daddy (5/1), Black Belt (6/1), Peaceful Day (6/1), Stanley (8/1), Holy Warrior (11/1), Jailhouse Rock (20/1), Troop The Colour (33/1)

BLACK BELT's recent efforts have been likeable on the whole and he looks the one they all have to beat. Stanley is the most realistic choice for second, while Al's My Daddy could well have a say too.
