Forecasts

Bold Resolve (7/4), And We Danced (4/1), Bel Punto (5/1), Mayfern (17/2), Al Falak (9/1), Light Without (10/1), Champagnesocialist (12/1), Willo'thewisp (16/1), Excelsior (20/1), Seattle Beat (22/1), Young Nelson (22/1), Masterful (22/1), Maestro Sonador (25/1), With Our Blessing (33/1), Psycho King (33/1), Toureiro (33/1), Different Drum (40/1)

YOUNG NELSON is just about the best hope here taking everything into account but it's an open race. Bold Resolve seems best of the remnants, while And We Danced commands respect as well.
