Forecasts

Green Mandarin (4/7), Perfection (9/4), Copernicus (5/1), Foot Soldier (9/1), Twice A Saint (20/1), Opening Ceremony (22/1), Flying Asterix (22/1), The Last Belle (25/1), Fort Dawn (40/1)

GREEN MANDARIN looked a decent prospect when making a promising debut and should prove hard to catch. Perfection rates the main danger, while Copernicus also commands consideration.
