Forecasts

Blackwhitedynamite (13/8), Cavalieri (4/1), Preemptive Strike (5/1), Son Of Silk (7/1), Son Of Zeus (7/1), Rugger Bugger (17/2), Parmenion (12/1), Roy's July Magic (16/1), Sir Theodore (28/1)

SON OF ZEUS could be the way to go. Parmenion is a threat, while Preemptive Strike might well have a say too.
