Forecasts

Intuitive (3/1), Sav's Star (4/1), River Doon (5/1), Travelling Light (6/1), Nikiya (6/1), Dieci (15/2), Purple Moon's Up (12/1), Naoshima (14/1), State Of Mind (22/1), Rock On Philly (22/1), Retail Therapy (25/1), Conker The World (28/1)

TRAVELLING LIGHT has run plenty of good races recently and seems the one they have to beat. Nikiya is the most realistic second preference, while State Of Mind might well have a say too.
