Forecasts

Harun Al Rashid (8/13), Uzwano (5/2), Fortune Hunter (12/1), Art Nouveau (12/1), I Am Classy (18/1), Firelighter (22/1), Many Waters (25/1), Sovereign Command (28/1), Saxon Dynasty (33/1), Half Sovereign (33/1), Portfire (40/1)

ART NOUVEAU has by some way the best chance on form and ought to win comfortably. Harun Al-Rashid is the percentage call to finish second, while Uzwano is the tentative selection for third.
