Forecasts

Cool Spirit (9/4), Aventurina (10/3), Million Reasons (10/3), Knockabout Queen (4/1), Ocean Eyes (6/1), Independence Day (8/1), Maahi Ve (10/1), Perfect Symphony (16/1), Master Sully (100/1), Cativo Ragazzo (200/1), Hurricane Alert (300/1)

Five of these clashed over C&D last week and INDEPENDENCE DAY arguably shaped best of all when fourth to Million Reasons in a blanket finish. He may well come out on top this time, with Cool Spirit the pick of those that didn't run in that race.
