Forecasts

Naval Guard (11/10), Have A Go Jo (5/1), Raiseahallelujah (13/2), Kool Baikal (13/2), Duke Of Sussex (15/2), Snow Palace (10/1), Apollo Robbins (10/1), Fifth Of July (14/1), Jive Express (14/1), Ideal Jet (14/1), Madabout Fashion (20/1), Devilish Dancer (20/1), Western Fort (40/1)

NAVAL GUARD couldn't satisfy backers last time, but still appeals as the best option. Jive Express could be the chief threat, while Snow Palace has a good shout of a share of the minor money.
