Forecasts

Nocturnal Flight (6/5), Send Me (9/2), Rodriguez (11/2), Givers Grace (11/2), Jaham (13/2), Fine Admiral (7/1), Arverni King (10/1), Intuitive Spirit (12/1), Riccardo (14/1), Escapologist (28/1)

SEND ME has been running well and seems the one they have to beat. Nocturnal Flight is probably the sternest opposition, while Rodriguez is another with the potential to be on the premises.
