Forecasts

Green Falcon (15/8), Bournemouth (7/2), Law Court (6/1), Chasing Cheetahs (9/1), Opening Ceremony (9/1), Painite (10/1), Sassy (16/1), So Dacha (16/1), American Dazzler (22/1), Shunmyo (28/1), Racinante (28/1), White Witch (33/1), Gimme A Dream (33/1), Sjambok (40/1), Happiness Is (40/1), Duchess Of Africa (50/1)

GREEN FALCON headed the market last time out, but is worth giving another chance. Painite could be the biggest danger, while Racinante merits respect as well.
