Forecasts

William Rufus (6/4), Son Of Silk (3/1), Blackwhitedynamite (7/1), Gentleman's Way (7/1), Catch The Tune (15/2), Parmenion (15/2), Spirit Of My Fate (17/2), Whorly Whorly (11/1), Immeasurable (18/1), Action Time (50/1)

BLACKWHITEDYNAMITE is selected rather gingerly but will need everything to fall right. Gentleman's Way is the percentage call to finish runner-up, while Catch The Tune looks the one for the minor money.
