Forecasts

Big Burn (5/4), Karangetang (9/2), Far Away Winter (13/2), Bon Vivant (8/1), Rollwiththepunches (10/1), Bella Chica (12/1), Alula's Star (14/1), Constable (14/1), Vaseem (20/1), Smorgasbord (20/1), Danilo Danilovitch (28/1), Val D'orcia (28/1)

Verdict

BIG BURN should be thereabouts but it's competitive stuff. Bon Vivant is hard to ignore if looking elsewhere, while Alula's Star shouldn't be ruled out.
