Forecasts

Afriel (10/3), Speechmaker (11/2), Sekhmet (11/2), Starflash (15/2), Grindelwald (9/1), Roger The Dodger (9/1), Pretty Jolly (10/1), Snow In Seattle (12/1), We All Chomies (16/1), Successful Secret (16/1), Bridge Of Spies (18/1), Look To The Sky (20/1), Panama Kid (20/1), Undisclosed (20/1), Bahlebonke (28/1), Hertog (50/1), Lord Grantham (50/1)

Verdict

AFRIEL has marginally the best all-round profile but has next to no margin for error. Speechmaker appeals most among the rest, while Sekhmet is another with a place chance too.

  1. AFRIEL (SAF)
  2. SPEECHMAKER (SAF)
  3. SEKHMET (SAF)
