Forecasts

Graduation Time (11/8), Grey Smoke (3/1), Charge Ahead (9/2), What Now My Gal (7/1), Torrone (9/1), Midnight Advocator (18/1), Flaming Drum (20/1), Lava Fields (22/1), War Sword (28/1), Tune Again (28/1), Royal Statesman (50/1)

Verdict

WHAT NOW MY GAL has been hard to fault in recent races and should make a bold show. Grey Smoke shouldn't be underestimated, while Graduation Time edges it for third.
