Forecasts

Ignatius (13/8), Master Of Coin (5/1), Romeo's Magic (11/2), Follow My Path (13/2), Vengeance Forever (15/2), Chasing Mavericks (10/1), Wondering Star (10/1), Flag Bearer (12/1), Gregor Macgregor (12/1), Satoshi (16/1), Skyfull (28/1), So Long Spring (66/1)

SATOSHI stands out by some way on form and is the one they all have to beat. Ignatius shouldn't be underestimated, while Wondering Star is the third candidate for the three.
