Forecasts

Captain Fontane (2/1), Cape Eagle (9/4), Lord William (10/3), Shampompo Shampizi (10/1), Flying Bull (14/1), Priceless Ruler (16/1), Back To Black (18/1)

Verdict

SHAMPOMPO SHAMPIZI looks marginally the pick in this field but has little margin for error. Priceless Ruler should be thereabouts, while Lord William isn't entirely out of it either.
