Forecasts

Aladdin's Lamp (6/4), The Ultimate King (3/1), Coppola (4/1), Chabal (13/2), Banha Bridge (13/2), Sky Pillar Rock (10/1), Futurewolff (12/1), Spy Story (16/1), Hearts On Fire (18/1), Rosy Lemon (20/1), Coffeeberry (25/1), Blurred Vision (25/1), Gimme Passion (33/1), Ideal Future (40/1), Full Go (66/1)

COFFEEBERRY could prove hard to catch. The Ultimate King is likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Futurewolff is another with a place chance too.
