Forecasts

Nebraas (5/2), Silver Host (4/1), African Adventure (4/1), Favour (15/2), Don't Look Back (10/1), Out Of Your League (16/1), Holy Warrior (16/1), Paths Of Victory (16/1), Bayberry (16/1), Wealthy (20/1), Doublemint (25/1), Chitengo (25/1), Before Noon (33/1), Dream Destiny (33/1), Sunshine Silk (33/1)

Verdict

AFRICAN ADVENTURE earns the narrow vote but this is competitive stuff. Silver Host may be the best bet for second, while Paths Of Victory also requires a second look.
