Forecasts

Battleofbarberton (15/8), Atarime (9/4), Moola Man (5/2), Master Tik Tok (8/1), Millahue (8/1), Celtic Rush (11/1), Circle Of Grace (20/1)

CIRCLE OF GRACE looks to have marginally the best credentials but will need to be on song. Celtic Rush could provide the main opposition, while Battleofbarberton is the third candidate for the three.
