Forecasts

Viva Brazil (2/1), Trois Trois Quatre (10/3), Jet Dynasty (7/2), Scarlett Pimpernel (5/1), Little Prince (5/1), Youcanthurrylove (5/1), Poorlittlerichgirl (11/2), Holocene (12/1), Captain Chorus (40/1)

VIVA BRAZIL has a little in hand but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Trois Trois Quatre shouldn't be underestimated, while Scarlett Pipernel shouldn't be far away either.
