Forecasts

Solar Power (5/2), Innamorare (7/2), Bardolino (4/1), Aspect (8/1), Magic Verse (12/1), Fatal Gem (12/1), Steinbeck (12/1), Hat's Pride (12/1), Carriacou (16/1), Gem King (18/1), Charlie Croker (20/1), Scalini (20/1), Zoomie (25/1), Tyrion Lannister (28/1), Tout A Fait (50/1)

HAT'S PRIDE has decent claims. Steinbeck can get the better of the remainder for second, while Bardolino looks best of the rest.
