Forecasts

Beat The Breeze (3/1), Victory Star (4/1), Reset Button (11/2), Elhafei (15/2), Baileys Warrior (9/1), Percy Willis (11/1), Eagle One (12/1), Myboymax (16/1), Gold Standard (18/1), Haven Lady (25/1), Rakish Paddy (100/1), Lobo Del Mar (100/1)

Several in with a shout but the vote goes to ELHAFEI. He's been a revelation since joining John Mackie and, provided he's ready to roll after 5 months off, he's can regain the winning thread from this lower AW mark. Victory Star was well positioned under this claimer when third over C&D recently so he's fancied to be in the mix again under a similarly good ride, along with Baileys Warrior.
