Forecasts

Masked Vigilante (11/10), Jaspero (13/2), Kingdom Of Heaven (7/1), Scampton (9/1), Treasure Hunt (10/1), Bronze Sword (10/1), Guerra (12/1), Timbavati River (14/1), Spin Doctor (14/1), Single File (14/1), Pedro (16/1), The Charioteer (16/1), Sand Bank (25/1), Empire Blue (25/1), Silver Hunt (33/1)

SCAMPTON looks marginally the pick in this field but it's an open race. Jaspero is most likely the chief opposition, while Guerra also commands a second look.
