Forecasts

Northern Warrior (3/1), Quest For The Best (10/3), Donquerari (4/1), Captain Rocket (4/1), Cupid's Song (9/2), Winter Waves (10/1), Petit Verdot (18/1), Roy's July Magic (28/1), Blue Eyes (33/1)

CAPTAIN ROCKET has a definite advantage on form and jumps off the page as the most likely winner. Winter Waves is also fancied to take a hand, while Cupid's Song might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
