Forecasts

Light That Loose (11/4), Tambora (7/2), Ralph The Rascal (4/1), Drunken Sailor (4/1), Tread Swiftly (11/1), Chattertons Keeper (11/1), Rock The Night (12/1), Heroic Deed (14/1), Into The Future (16/1), Antigonus (18/1), Euphoric (25/1), Master Vision (25/1), Victorious Man (33/1)

DRUNKEN SAILOR has been hard to fault in recent runs and is up to winning this. Into The Future could be the biggest competition, while Chattertons Keeper might be worth siding with for third.
