Forecasts

Pomodoro's Jet (9/4), Promettere (3/1), Rapidash (4/1), Carriacou (7/1), Night Ruler (9/1), My Bestie (12/1), Cheeky Laddie (14/1), Royal Watch (20/1), Blackberry Malt (22/1), Gainsford (22/1), Cosmic Event (33/1), Wiccan Warrior (33/1)

PROMETTERE has marginally the best all-round profile but it promises to be touch and go. Pomodoro's Jet makes most appeal among the remainder, while My Bestie also requires respect.
