Forecasts

Chocolate Soldier (8/11), In The Ether (5/1), Pendragon (6/1), Lulu's Boy (8/1), Thymetoshine (8/1), Sahara Dawn (8/1), King Of Kildare (12/1), Dark Tide (14/1), Wings Of Nike (25/1)

CHOCOLATE SOLDIER just about appeals most but it's an open race. King Of Kildare arguably sets the standard among the remainder, while Pendragon commands respect as well.
