Forecasts

Duchess Of Seville (5/6), Tune Again (4/1), Time In Paris (5/1), Opera Verse (6/1), Ruby Claire (7/1), Midwicket (17/2), Cosmic Cliffs (14/1), Oh Yoko (20/1), Summer Heat (40/1), Trillion Dreams (66/1)

TUNE AGAIN earns the narrow vote but will need everything to fall right. Opera Verse could be the biggest competition, while Ruby Claire is another with a place chance.
