Forecasts

American Glory (3/1), Shin Jidai (10/3), Kodi Lion (7/2), Terrorise (13/2), Tuneful (17/2), Alpen Power (12/1), Carvalhal (16/1), Havana Sky (33/1), Clear Endeavour (33/1), Twilight Chancer (40/1), Grid Iron Maiden (50/1), Kingsford (50/1)

Those with experience don't set the bar too high so newcomers may come to the fore. Without the benefit of market clues, SHIN JIDAI makes the most appeal on paper, followed by Tuneful and Kodi Lion.
