Forecasts

Oliver (15/8), Dumbledore (11/4), Silver Crown (10/3), Gimmelightning (9/2), Go It Alone (6/1), Dean Street (14/1), Sun Dazed (16/1), War Chariot (18/1), Blue Holly (25/1)

SILVER CROWN should make a bold show. Dumbledore could provide the main threat, while Gimmelightning also commands consideration.
