Forecasts

Badge Of Honor (6/4), Showering (4/1), Fastcase (9/2), Blue Empress (6/1), The Childe Of Hale (15/2), Suzuka (11/1), Noble Force (33/1), Dovey Moon (100/1), Oilisa (150/1), Our Oasis (250/1)

This could go the way of one of the newcomers with William Haggas' well-related Showcasing colt SHOWERING edging the vote from Roger Varian's Bated Breath filly Suzuka. The Childe of Hale appeals as the pick of those with experience and can fight it out for minor honours with another debutant Fastcase.
