Forecasts

Hawkbill (5/6), Hotarubi (9/4), George Handel (11/2), Pembroke (16/1), Top Man (20/1), Pocket Watch (22/1), Captain Efficient (28/1), Paradise Flower (33/1), Golden Torrent (33/1), Future Knight (33/1), Pike Place (40/1), Raining Rubies (40/1), The Donelly (40/1), Kit Kat Katie (40/1)

HAWKBILL appeals as the most obvious option. Hotarubi is probably the sternest threat, while George Handel commands a closer look as well.
