Forecasts

Princess Calla (7/4), Rollwiththepunches (4/1), Bon Vivant (8/1), Big Burn (17/2), Supreme Warrior (10/1), Prophet (10/1), Thunderstruck (14/1), Taikonaut (14/1), Prince Of Fire (18/1), Eden Roc (28/1), Full Velocity (33/1), Danilo Danilovitch (40/1), Mardi Gras (40/1)

Verdict

BIG BURN was the beaten market pick last time out, but still appeals as the most obvious winner here. Bon Vivant gets the nod among the others, while Mardi Gras is not out of it for third place.
