Forecasts

Warrior (2/1), Mount Anderson (11/2), Gainsford (6/1), Firealley (9/1), Reunion (10/1), Airways Law (12/1), Chollima (12/1), Crimson King (14/1), Native Tongue (14/1), Gentleman's Wager (16/1), Tristful (18/1), Cornish Pomodoro (20/1), Never Ending Rain (33/1), Imperial Ruby (66/1)

WARRIOR was beaten when prominent in the market last time, but still appeals as the likeliest winner here. Gentleman's Wager is most likely the main threat, while Native Tongue is one to bear in mind too.
