Forecasts

Frontline Fighter (7/2), Irfaans Boy (4/1), Goliath Heron (9/2), Insatiable (9/2), Esquevelle (7/1), Country Squire (17/2), Jet Cat (10/1), Rising Fenix (16/1), Bronco Blitz (16/1), Twice As Splendid (20/1), Alex The Great (25/1), Ice Eater (28/1), Shinnecock (28/1)

INSATIABLE has a quite marked edge on form and will take all the beating. Esquevelle ought to be involved as well, while Twice As Splendid is another with the potential to figure.
