Forecasts

Charles Dickens (1/5), Gimme A Prince (5/1), Royal Aussie (22/1), After The Rain (28/1), Cosmic Highway (33/1), Runaway Song (50/1), Bright Green (66/1)

Verdict

CHARLES DICKENS should give a good account but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Gimme A Prince should be thereabouts too, while Royal Aussie also commands a closer look.
