Forecasts

A Piece Of Heaven (7/4), Uxmal (3/1), The Banger Doyle (7/2), Impero (4/1), Nikini (9/2), The Mediator (11/1), Tempo Chapter Two (28/1), Rodney Bay (40/1), Sandymount Baby (66/1), Tom The Plasterer (80/1), Keeptellinemnuttin (150/1), Meoulflower (200/1), Picinisco (200/1)

IMPERO isn't the most reliable but he's good enough to win a race like this so can finally break his duck. Uxmal is feared most ahead of A Piece of Heaven.
