Forecasts

Storm Piece (11/4), Fort Vega (13/2), Moltophino (10/1), Heavenly Power (12/1), Kings Time (12/1), Barbapapa (14/1), Tina's Indian (14/1), Apache Outlaw (14/1), Goal Exceeded (14/1), Hightimeyouwon (16/1), Pinar Del Rio (16/1), Lough Leane (16/1), Chicago Fireball (16/1), Dunum (20/1), Staysound Susie (20/1), I Am Superman (22/1), Go Athletico (33/1), White Clover (33/1), Dandyville (40/1)

This is wide open but CHICAGO FIREBALL rates the pick of the weights so edges the vote at the chief expense of in-form duo Fort Vega and Apache Outlaw who can chase home Johnny Murtagh's 4-y-o in that order. Goal Exceeded, Pinar Del Rio and Barbapapa also enter calculations.
