Forecasts

Raisetheredlantern (11/4), Razor Red (11/2), Travel Master (11/2), Sing Girl Sing (13/2), Knave Of Diamonds (11/1), Torio Lake (12/1), Abayyaan (12/1), Saipan (14/1), Undisclosed (14/1), Firstamongequals (18/1), Question The Stars (25/1), Masterful (25/1), Dhanteras (25/1), Toureiro (28/1), Jean Paul (33/1), Son Of Zeus (33/1), Born A Star (40/1), Secret Link (50/1)

RAISETHEREDLANTERN appeals best of these by a narrow margin but it's an open race. Knave Of Diamonds could be the sternest opposition, while Saipan also commands a closer look.
