Forecasts

Homer Fidget (4/1), Opulence (4/1), Ideal View (9/2), Firstamongequals (5/1), Seattle Beat (7/1), Dirty Martini (17/2), Young Nelson (10/1), Maestro Sonador (11/1), Flash Gala (14/1), Perfectly Putt (16/1), With Our Blessing (40/1), Savannah Buddy (66/1), Justforkix (66/1)

IDEAL VIEW has quite a significant edge on form and tops the shortlist . Homer Fidget could be the one to take advantage if the selection underperforms, while Seattle Beat is the other candidate for the three.
