Forecasts

Knockemstiff (9/4), Cruzador (11/4), Thing Called Love (10/3), Jade's Caberneigh (11/2), Mediteraneangoddes (6/1), Seattle Ripper (15/2), Absolu Noir (17/2), Russian Empire (9/1), Wordsworth (12/1), De Janeiro (12/1), Lady Camper (12/1)

CRUZADOR looks marginally the best in this field but this is an open race. Seattle Ripper should also be considered.
