Forecasts

Green Sapphire (4/9), Sea Anemone (9/2), Hong Kong (5/1), Lady Of Memphis (9/1), Alesia's Love (9/1), Basked In Glory (16/1), Green Flash (22/1), Alabama Anna (28/1), Abbey's View (28/1), Damostar (40/1)

HONG KONG has marginally the best all-round profile but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Green Sapphire looks the most dangerous opponent, while Sea Anemone edges it so far as third place is concerned.
