Forecasts

Another Level (5/2), Vanderbilt (5/2), Bard Of Avon (9/2), Castletown (7/1), Sudden Star (15/2), Back To Black (9/1), Imperial Master (11/1), Sovereign Spirit (20/1), Expressfromtheus (20/1), Ultra Magnus (22/1), Cornish Pomodoro (33/1)

IMPERIAL MASTER failed to justify market expectations on his most recent run, but edges it as the selection once again. Bard Of Avon is foremost among the dangers, while Vanderbilt shouldn't be far away either.
