Forecasts

Laughifuwant (13/8), Raise You (10/3), Saltonstall (6/1), Epona Plays (13/2), Fiscal Rules (11/1), Fame And Acclaim (14/1), Harpocrates (20/1), Quizical (28/1), Flaming Moon (33/1), Spanish Tenor (40/1), One Last Look (40/1), Stormy Belle (80/1)

SALTONSTALL is an admirable sort who has won more than his fair share of handicaps and he can finally have a breakthrough at this level. He's in tremendous order and goes on this ground so should go very close. Laughifuwant is very consistent and he too thrives in these conditions. Raise You and Fame and Acclaim both are decent each-way alternatives.
