Forecasts

Cape Bouquet (9/4), Apache Fighter (5/2), Flag Bearer (7/2), Liverpool Legend (4/1), Go Dream Machine (9/2), Monsieur Chevelle (8/1), Twice In Camden (11/1), Fantastic Impact (22/1)

MONSIEUR CHEVELLE is just about the safest pick but it's a competitive race. Apache Fighter seems the principal danger, while Liverpool Legend also requires consideration.
