Forecasts

The Camden Colt (7/2), Sadaaty (4/1), Mersaal (5/1), Andreas Vesalius (7/1), Quality Humor (15/2), Rawy (12/1), Mountbatten (14/1), Morning (14/1), Street Mood (18/1), Secret State (18/1), Remaadd (22/1), Davy Lamp (33/1), New Kingdom (40/1), Silver Jubilee (50/1), Magadan (50/1), Kafoo (66/1)

SADAATY looks to have marginally the best claims but has no room for error. The Camden Colt has been running well and can claim second ahead of Andreas Vesalius and Morning.
