Forecasts

Fairy Knight (8/13), El Romiachi (6/1), Knights Table (8/1), Lord Varys (17/2), Indy View (10/1), Prince Vihaan (14/1), Waiting For Summer (14/1), Central City (20/1), Flame Flower (22/1), Silver Tycoon (25/1), Heartsease (28/1), Princess Of Fire (28/1), Gold Rock (28/1)

FAIRY KNIGHT formwise has a distinct edge and looks to have been found a very good opening. Indy View can get the better of the remainder for second, while Prince Vihaan might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
