Forecasts

Tothemoonandback (11/8), African Torrent (15/8), Eternal Optimist (13/2), Big Poppa (8/1), Caramel Fudge (11/1), Jovial (12/1), Nocturnal Flight (14/1), Lucky Thirteen (20/1), Bella's Pablo (25/1), Eye Catching (50/1), Rogue Male (50/1), Destined To Dance (50/1)

LUCKY THIRTEEN could be worth a bet. Caramel Fudge looks the best back-up if the selection underperforms, while Tothemoonandback is another to bear in mind.
