Forecasts

Winter Flight (2/1), Giacomo Puccini (11/4), Quant Master (6/1), Tonightsfightnight (15/2), Var Aglow (9/1), Majorca Palace (9/1), Kings Road (10/1), Herecomestherain (22/1), Irish Belle (22/1), Hard To Play (28/1), Retail Therapy (28/1), Double Espresso (80/1)

KINGS ROAD looks marginally the pick in this field. Hard To Play is most likely the primary challenger, while Irish Belle might well have a say too.
