Forecasts

Sandringham Summit (4/7), William Iron Arm (6/1), Barbaresco (15/2), Purple Pitcher (9/1), Storm Brasco (22/1), Hotarubi (28/1), Pure Predator (33/1), Gimmeanotherchance (33/1), Guy Gibson (40/1), Navajo Nation (50/1), Mondial (80/1)

SANDRINGHAM SUMMIT has marginally the best all-round profile. Purple Pitcher is also in with a shout, while Barbaresco is another that could go well.
