Forecasts

Main Defender (11/8), Cosmic Speed (7/4), Barbaresco (8/1), Gimmefabulous (11/1), Texas Red (16/1), Gimmeanotherchance (18/1), Busstopinhounslow (28/1), Fire 'n Flames (33/1), Slinky Mapimpi (40/1)

Verdict

MAIN DEFENDER has been running creditably of late and should give backers a decent run for their money. Barbaresco is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Texas Red could well have a say as well.
