Forecasts

Raisetheredlantern (3/1), Imposing Angel (4/1), Money Fighter (4/1), Allez Les Bleu (6/1), Edward Longshanks (8/1), Soweto Rose (9/1), Excellarator (12/1), Hear The Trumpet (12/1), Trust The Fire (18/1), True Brit (18/1), Twelve Oaks (20/1), Mercer Girl (25/1), Touch Of Fate (33/1), Just As Rich (66/1), Rock On Philly (66/1)

EDWARD LONGSHANKS took a large step back in the right direction last time and can go well. Raisetheredlantern likely poses the biggest threat, while Money Fighter is the third candidate.
