Forecasts

Feast (11/8), Haas Boy (4/1), Tchoupinminzac (8/1), The Turtle Said (9/1), Hungry Hill (9/1), Poet's Corner (11/1), Valamix (11/1), Avec Permission (16/1), Mole Court (20/1), Thedevilyouknow (33/1)

This looks open before the benefit of market clues but FEAST represents a yard with a superb record in this division and, given his dam was good enough to win in this sphere, he has a lot going for him on paper. Haas Boy and Tchoupinminzac should be involved, also.
