Forecasts

Garrix (5/4), Let It Be Said (4/1), The Grey King (8/1), Magic Verse (8/1), Rascallion (9/1), Gallic Dream (16/1), Billy Bowlegs (16/1), Promettere (16/1), Zapatillas (20/1), The Futurist (66/1), Bavarian Beauty (66/1)

Verdict

BILLY BOWLEGS should give a good account but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Promettere is probably the main danger, while Garrix is another likely to be on the premises.

  1. Billy Bowlegs16/1
  2. Promettere16/1
  3. Garrix5/4
