Forecasts

King Of Numbers (7/4), Sail The Sky (3/1), Paul Revere (4/1), Shinto Shrine (4/1), Great Notion (8/1), Stroke Of Mercy (18/1), Sovereigns Call (22/1), Cerulean Dancer (25/1)

PAUL REVERE has been running well and seems the one they have to beat. Sail The Sky is probably the sternest opposition, while King Of Numbers is another with the potential to be on the premises.
