Forecasts

Fidelius (4/6), Kento (11/4), Match Anthem (6/1), Dusk Dame (22/1), Ten Commitments (25/1), Dash Gordon (25/1), West Coast Boy (100/1)

Robert Cowell's FIDELIUS holds the clear edge on form so looks the way to go. Kento could emerge as the chief threat if back on his A-game ahead of Match Anthem and Ten Commitments.
