Forecasts

Rich Folks Hoax (7/2), Icy Blast (4/1), Tyrconnell (9/2), King Of Spin (9/2), Bristol Hercules (5/1), Nelson Bay (6/1), Bowie (12/1), Imposing (14/1), Perilla (14/1), Chinaberry (14/1), Rosh Kedesh (16/1), Parmenion (25/1), Tirpitz (25/1), Golden Rule (33/1), Shoefella (40/1)

KING OF SPIN just about edges it as the selection but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Bowie likely poses the biggest threat, while Bristol Hercules deserves some consideration too.
