Forecasts

Free Movement (2/1), Captain Wara (3/1), Turbo Power (7/2), Gimme A Diamond (6/1), Rossore Finale (7/1), Godspeed (12/1), Lions Eye (20/1), Kanimambo (33/1), Saka Gold (33/1), Mohave Man (33/1), Scarlett Pimpernel (50/1)

GODSPEED looks marginally the best of this bunch but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Captain Wara is the most realistic option for second, while Turbo Power could also get a look-in.
