Forecasts

Napoleon (2/1), Funky Music (11/4), Gregor Macgregor (9/2), Lady Elliot (6/1), Green Sceptre (15/2), Flag Bearer (8/1), Fifth Of July (17/2), Conker The World (10/1), Parker Getrix (11/1), Rattle Bag (12/1), Follow My Path (18/1), Full Go (20/1), Oyster King (22/1), Lidl Miss Sunshine (28/1), Azucar (40/1)

FIFTH OF JULY should be thereabouts but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Rattle Bag looks the most dangerous opponent, while Napoleon might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
