Forecasts

Proud Master (15/8), Ad Altisima (9/2), Hooves Of Troy (6/1), Justaguything (15/2), In Cahoots (8/1), Sikhulu (9/1), Running Freely (12/1), Chara Sands (12/1), Joshua Hotsnake (16/1), Dandolo (18/1), Bernie's Dream (20/1), Path To Fortune (28/1), Metallic Gold (33/1), Giambattista (50/1)

HOOVES OF TROY gets a narrow vote but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Proud Master looks second best, while Sikhulu could go well too.
