Forecasts

Pop Dancer (6/5), Call Time (10/3), Rebel Star (5/1), Under Curfew (13/2), Mary Of Modena (14/1), Arlecchino's Gift (20/1), Dream By Day (22/1)

POP DANCER is well suited to this sort of test and arrives in good form. He looks the likeliest winner. Rebel Star and Dream By Day may give him most to think about.
