Forecasts

Stede Bonnet (13/8), Jackson Lamb (11/4), Minella Emperor (3/1), Garahon (7/2), Whitewinewednesday (11/1), Noble Name (12/1), Victor Sweet (14/1), Governors Rock (16/1), Kershaw (20/1), An Realt Is Gile (25/1), Dreamersgame (33/1), Bold Rhyme (40/1), In The Moment (40/1), Osborne Park (50/1), Paymelater (80/1), Lightspeedahead (80/1), Nohilltoosteep (125/1), Wild River Fall (200/1)

The previous bumper winners are probably the ones to focus on, with the returning JACKSON LAMB selected over Minella Emperor and Stede Bonnet. Market support for Garahon back from a long absence would be very interesting.
