Forecasts

Belgarion (5/4), Rainbow Bridge (7/2), Do It Again (6/1), Cirillo (6/1), Jet Dark (13/2), Silver Operator (33/1), Sovereign Spirit (66/1), Hurricane Harry (100/1)

DO IT AGAIN can do just that and win this race for a second time after his 2019 success. Belgarion could provide the toughest threat, while Rainbow Bridge could well have a say as well.
