Forecasts

Marshall Field (10/3), Lord Fyfield (4/1), Sudden Song (5/1), Avignon (13/2), Exceeder (7/1), Family Power (8/1), Ignatius (17/2), Weather King (10/1), Caramel Fudge (10/1), Twice The Master (33/1), Destined To Dance (33/1)

EXCEEDER formwise is some way in advance of these and is well up to winning this readily. Avignon is the most pragmatic second choice, while Family Power may be the one for third.
