Forecasts

Full Velocity (9/4), William Robertson (3/1), Quantum Theory (11/2), Prophet (6/1), Eden Roc (7/1), Val D'orcia (10/1), Sprinkles (12/1), Lucy In The Sky (14/1), Ikigai (22/1), Astrix (22/1)

FULL VELOCITY is up to taking this with a bit in hand and is a straightforward selection. Lucy In The Sky is a sound alternative, while Ikigai edges it so far as third place is concerned.
