Forecasts

Vihaan's Bomb (5/4), Agamemnon (13/8), Rainbow Of Roses (5/1), Trip To Nebraska (6/1), The Green Gallant (11/1), Triton (14/1), The Noah (16/1), Basie Raakvat (33/1), Iron Monger (33/1), Chief Of Staff (40/1), Summer Lightning (66/1)

RAINBOW OF ROSES looks the one to be with, albeit narrowly and will need to be on song. Vihaan's Bomb is probably the sternest opposition, while Agamemnon is in the running for a share of the minor money.
