Forecasts

Aristotle (6/5), Grand Crescendo (9/4), Gimmeanotherchance (3/1), Royal Force (10/1), Great Barrier (16/1), Salute The Flag (20/1), Paul Revere (33/1)

GIMMEANOTHERCHANCE is the one to beat judged on the form book and is well up to winning this readily. Aristotle is the most prudent second choice, while Grand Crescendo could go well too.
