Forecasts

Oliver Twist (10/11), Karoo Gold (11/4), Super Casanova (6/1), Kamaria (10/1), Mayor Of Merrivale (11/1), Come On You Spurs (16/1), Mo Ridge (18/1), Maxigirl (33/1), Heart Of Thieves (40/1)

KAMARIA just about edges it as the selection but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Oliver Twist is not one to underestimate however, while Karoo Gold edges it as the selection for third.
