Forecasts

Meetatthewindsor (7/2), Coral Creek (7/2), King Rahul (8/1), Erimitage (8/1), Grand Oasis (17/2), Fearless Badger (9/1), Noble Warrior (9/1), Arividicio (10/1), Mister Whistle (12/1), Fujisan (14/1), Elusive Mata (16/1), Reach Forthe Stars (18/1), No Greater Love (50/1)

KING RAHUL gets the vote. Elusive Mata is probably the main danger, while Meetatthewindsor could also get a look-in.
