Forecasts

Arturo (11/4), Joyous Jubilee (3/1), Duke Of Orange (4/1), Charlie Malone (5/1), Irontail (6/1), Morning Chess (8/1), Russian Empire (10/1), Ravilious (10/1), War Launch (16/1), Sea Of Tears (22/1), Lady Crusade (28/1), Pashtunwali (33/1)

DUKE OF ORANGE is holding his form well and sets the bar. Lady Crusade could provide the most competition, while Arturo is another likely to be on the premises.
