Forecasts

Iron Will (9/4), Exceeder (3/1), Master Tobe (9/2), Congo Compaq (11/2), Master Of Law (6/1), Devils And Dust (7/1), African Dusk (17/2), Pongola (10/1)

EXCEEDER's recent efforts have been likeable in general and he is the one they all have to beat. Devils And Dust makes most appeal of the remainder, while Master Tobe might well have a say too.
