Forecasts

Lady Amherst (4/1), Smoking Hot (9/2), Un Deux Trois (9/2), Eternal Life (9/2), Heart Stwings (13/2), Southern Song (11/1), Saragon (12/1), Masaaken (14/1), Ballet Shoes (16/1), Keepingthepeace (18/1), Illuminate (18/1), Smiley River (25/1), The Sash (33/1)

UN DEUX TROIS is just about best of these all things considered but this is an open race. Lady Amherst has to come into the equation, while Heart Stwings can't be ruled out of it either.
