Forecasts

Legendary (7/4), Spirito Selvaggio (9/4), Chieftain's Shield (9/2), Gun Barrel (13/2), Spy Story (15/2), Parabellum (8/1), Peak Predator (16/1), Oklahoma Twister (28/1), Blue Crystal (50/1), Lord Of The North (66/1), Stop The Traffic (80/1), Ragamuffin (80/1)

PARABELLUM looks quite difficult to fault and is up to winning this. Spirito Selvaggio can come out best of the remainder, while Chieftain's Shield is another with the potential to be on the premises.
