Forecasts

Pride Of Priory (11/4), Capital Theory (4/1), Simply Sondheim (5/1), Savvy Knight (6/1), Max Mayhem (15/2), Sir Rumi (15/2), Evania (8/1), Prydwen (10/1), Wandering Rocks (20/1), HMS President (28/1), Kenzai Warrior (28/1), Jewel In My Crown (40/1), Cap Francais (40/1), Soto Sizzler (50/1)

This looks very open but PRIDE OF PRIORY's AW record is an excellent one and with fitness no concern given the yard he represents, he looks the way to go. Simply Sondheim, Capital Theory and Max Mayhem are just a trio of potential threats.
