Forecasts

Alpha Pappa (2/1), Undisclosed (10/3), Var's Boy (10/3), Sonny Quinn (7/1), Torio Lake (9/1), Beneficiary (9/1), Iron Henry (14/1), Vista Nova (25/1), Wicked Grin (25/1), Futura's Hope (25/1)

VAR'S BOY is just about up to taking this and he's a C&D winner. Undisclosed is most likely the main opposition, while Torio Lake comes into calculations for third place.
