Forecasts

Ryans Boulevard (11/10), Presley (11/4), Godfather (7/1), Munchkin (8/1), La Moohal (11/1), Laughing William (11/1), Libeccio (14/1), Crepuscolo (20/1), Diesel's Shadow (28/1), Fairy Circle (40/1)

GODFATHER just about looks the one to be with but can't afford for much to go wrong. Ryans Boulevard is most likely the main opposition, while Munchkin edges it as the selection for third.
