Forecasts

Gimmeforsure (15/8), Faithful Neo (2/1), Gaelic Dancer (7/1), Panthera Uncia (8/1), Together Again (8/1), Second Breath (11/1), Montana Lights (18/1), Just Jazzed Up (22/1), Beaded Gown (25/1), Wings Of Nike (33/1), Omnipotent (40/1), Predatrice (50/1), We Will Rock You (66/1)

GIMMEFORSURE holds a considerable advantage formwise and really ought to win comfortably. Gaelic Dancer makes most appeal among the remainder, while Second Breath comes into calculations for third place.
