Forecasts

Tuscan Winter (1/1), Far Away Winter (6/4), Corvette Captain (7/1), Vasilikos (12/1), Letsdoit (14/1), Whorly Whorly (16/1)

Verdict

TUSCAN WINTER looks marginally the pick of this bunch but it's a competitive race. Vasilikos is the most realistic next preference, while Corvette Captain could well have a say as well.

  1. Tuscan Winter1/1
  2. VasilikosNR
  3. Corvette Captain7/1
