Forecasts

Verdansk (9/2), Many Rivers (9/2), Wiltshire (5/1), Vasilissa (13/2), Finest Leader (8/1), Physique (17/2), Good Karma (12/1), Spirit Of Breeze (12/1), Juryman (12/1), Novus (14/1), Deceiver (16/1), Prospering (22/1), One More Wave (25/1), Saturnalia (25/1), Beelzebub (33/1), Diamond Dreamer (40/1), Icy Dip (40/1), Tiriac (100/1), Brazen Insanity (200/1)

Plenty in with chances but Sylvester Kirk's MANY RIVERS was sent off an unconsidered 100/1 shot when a promising staying-on fourth at this track 5 weeks ago and with that initial outing under her belt, she gets the tentative vote. Verdansk was a place behind the selection that day so he's fancied to be in the mix again, while Novus and newcomer Vasilissa are a couple of others who could have a say in proceedings.
