Forecasts

King Of The Gauls (3/1), The Abdicator (7/2), Tough Terrain (9/2), Nordic Chief (6/1), Escarpment (13/2), Blue Holly (15/2), Bluff On Bluff (9/1), Major Apollo (20/1), Silver Crown (28/1), Elusive Winter (33/1), Let The Flag Fly (33/1), William West (40/1), Navajo Dancer (50/1)

Verdict

BLUE HOLLY gets the vote. Bluff On Bluff could have the most to offer of the remainder, while Let The Flag Fly is also an interesting runner.
