Forecasts

Hello Me (9/2), Momaer (9/2), Razzam (5/1), Minnetonka (8/1), Kit Gabriel (9/1), Bear Profit (9/1), Le Beau Garcon (10/1), Crimson Angel (12/1), International Girl (14/1), Water Of Leith (14/1), Aira Force (20/1), Estate (20/1), Alcazan (66/1)

HELLO ME is right at the top of her game and should be well positioned, so she takes marginal preference over Razzam and Le Beau Garcon, who both arrive on the back of solid showings but have wide draws to contend with. A case can be made for several others in a competitive event.
