Forecasts

Rauzan (6/4), Roman Bull (7/1), S'all Good Man (7/1), Gracesolution (7/1), Sky Legend (8/1), Boola Boola (17/2), Tender Camilla (12/1), Turf Range (14/1), Cursory Exam (16/1), Galactica (20/1), Halcyon Spirit (25/1), Portunalia (25/1), L'Un Deux Trois (33/1), Party Moon (50/1), Greek Gladiator (66/1)

Having been given a chance by the handicapper, HALCYON SPIRIT could be worth siding with in what looks a wide-open contest. Gracesolution has been knocking on the door and looks set for another prominent role, while Roman Bull is third choice. Rauzan is also shortlisted.
