Forecasts

Putontheredlight (15/8), Willow Express (11/4), Zouaves (5/1), Approach Control (7/1), Category Four (8/1), Nordic Rebel (10/1), Wonderwall (11/1), Portico (18/1)

Verdict

NORDIC REBEL looks marginally the pick in this field but it's an open race. Putontheredlight could provide the sternest threat, while Category Four is the tentative selection for third. .

  1. NORDIC REBEL (SAF)
  2. PUTONTHEREDLIGHT (SAF)
  3. CATEGORY FOUR (SAF)
