Forecasts

Empire State (13/8), Unicorn Alert (5/2), Prime Venture (7/2), Major Master (9/2), Happy Days (15/2), Gentleman Joe (17/2), Sir Korski (20/1), Regulation (22/1), All About Ronnie (25/1)

GENTLEMAN JOE can win again. Unicorn Alert is likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Happy Days is another with a place chance too.
